”Sigrid Finne is a novel full of surprises … The text is beautifully written and the soreness is portrayed without making it sentimental …”
Bok og Samfunn

”A beautiful and loving portrait”
Dagbladet

”The result is a dense and complex web … the text is spun back and forth, between mother and daughter, in a book I am increasingly fascinated by.”
Klassekampen

”An interesting book … a story with secret depths. Quiet and nice on the surface, but underneath is the weight of a life lived – and survived.”
NRK

” Sigrid Finne is an original, funny and tender novel that deserves an army of readers.”
Bergens Tidende

”Funny, pensive and melancholic”
Adresseavisen

”a magnificent novel, you get carried away and it is easily read – with a uncommonly rich vocabulary”
Stavanger Aftenblad

”The book gets a more profound and very strong meaning, and it holds a story that could not have been told in any other way – like with every significant novel.”
Aftenposten

“Glittering earnestness … A probing, fragmented and quite simply glittering book about storytelling and writing … Throughout the book Tusvik balances her well-chosen clichés with openness and playfulness, creating a story that is both cheerful and sad, earnest and jubilant … the portrait she draws of her mother is powerful, almost sparkling … Sigrid Finne is a beautiful portrait, both of the mother and the relationship with the daughter. It’s also a story of the war and a love story about Sigrid and her husband, the dashing couple everybody thought looked like Ingrid Bergman and Cary Grant … And everything is sewn together with extreme sensitivity, an elegance and lightness that causes the story to slowly, but powerfully grow and grow while you read, while it’s being constructed around itself.”
