«Ragde certainlys shows a steady hand when she now finally picks up the story of the people at Neshov. They all come running at the reader, all the characters, effortlessly pulled into a new narrative web with loose threads and possibilities for new stories for years to come. Oh yes, this is a joyful read … Anne B. Ragde has her great strength in research, details and social setting … a fun read”
5/6 STARS, VG

“Give us more Neshov books, Anne B. Ragde! The readers has lots to look forward to”
Dagbladet

“Ragde has an arsenal of self-made, well-crafted characters. So well-crafted that it’s almost strange that she managed to wait so long … Anne B. Ragde has again hit the Norwegien reader’s soft spots”
Klassekampen

“A solid addition to the series about the Neshov Family”
Adresseavisen

“The wonderful thing about Ragde’s fourth Neshov book is that it is exactly as expected … Much of the joy of the reader depends on the regognition of the characters. And it helps if she also likes them. The way the author so obviously does. Anne B. Ragde’s love for Margido, Erlend, Krumme and Torunn shines through every paragraph of Always Forgiveness. She knows these people … Readers who loved the Neshov trilogy – and they are many – will undoubtedly love this fourth book too … On another note Ragde’s writing is a model of clarity and quality, her sentences seem casually simple, without ornament or affectation. She switches between dialogue, action and indirect speech with ease and flow, and gives each character a hint of their own voice, unforced and without overstating. Perhaps she is the best in the country at precisely this: writing such a fluent and “ordinary” prose, but never coming across as banal, or too “simple”.
