”Young début with a great talent for language … So confident and precise that after only a few pages one finds that one is interested to see where she’ll go … Nedrejord places the drama of the threesome in a vice and twists it 57 times”
Morgenbladet
Intense on desperate longing … The processing of heart-brake is central in Kathrine Nedrejord’s début novel, and she writes wisely of That Which Is Most Painful … The author’s view on everyday details is sharp and beautifully portrayed”
