“Surreal and captivating on life, death and love … few can put physical feelings and pure pain into words like this 34-year-old author … Inspired by classic authorships like Per Olof Enquist and Samuel Beckett … so cleverly and vividly constructed it seems organic, it may grow into one of those rare books that changes its content every time you read it.”
5/6 stars, VG
“Opening a book by Skomsvold is truly an extraordinary experience. You are met by such an overpowering cascade of images and allegories, you are nearly knocked out. One more beautiful, more original and existentially profound than the next … she is so incredibly talented and fills the story with the most peculiar allegories, delusions and nightmares. Expressed with such an original imagery it can take your breath away”

“An indisputably good novel … it is beautiful, emotional, clever … There are sentences I would have given my favourite cup to have written myself. There are transitions and digressions, the way real life actually is, but that takes an unusually skilled writer to lure out of reality and into a book”
