“(..) an electrifying and stimulating novel. Yes, the author’s best qualities are used to their fullest in this fall’s book. Lauguage-wise, Berge is a smart mix of voices and styles. I expecially appreciate the intelligent use of quotes from our common July 22nd dialogue. (…) The public conversation of July 22nd often feels narrow and predictable. Kjærstad expands it.” Aftenposten
“An exquisite, rock solid novel about us all.” Bok365, 6 out of 6 stars
“Those who aren’t moved and shaken by this story, are either completely uninterested in literature in this genre, or somehow emotionally detached. It is both desirable and likely that Kjærstad will reach his previous, numerous readership with this novel.” Dagbladet
“Kjærstad has written of his best novels to date.” NRK
“It takes a certain courage, a well-tuned psychologic insight, serious political reflection, substantal depth, considerable composition skills and an elegant and original pen to lift a topic as the one Norwegian author Jan Kjærstad takes on in his latest novel Storefjeld. But he brings it all, this is simply a magnificent work of fiction.” Information, Denmark
