“By positioning Agnes’ lifelong feeling of being different against a collective state of emergency, Ertzeid manages, in a wise and thought-provoking way, to analyze what a national trauma actually is …a readable and brave novel on a difficult subject”
Bokvennen Litterære Avis

“A painful, but convincing novel on July 22. With great understanding Aina M. Ertzeid portrays how difficult it is to talk about July 22 – both for the victims and for us as a community … This is a good book because it captures and holds up both the individual and personal experience of living with the July 22 trauma, while at the same time also articulating the collective experience”
Fædrelandsvennen

“A gripping book on the inner life of the Government Building … Ertzeid makes her debut with a rough-hewn, obstinate and important novel about 22nd July”
Aftenposten

“The way I read Agnes, she is a rather broken human being who keeps her world together through her occupational expertise, a powerful longing for love and a merciless view of the people around her. I read this book with awe, because I think it’s very good. I hope that 15:25 will be read carefully by many for a long time to come.”
5/6, Stavanger Aftenblad

“Powerful on the bombing of the Government Building. A stark and powerful novel about the lawyer Agnes, who found herself on the inside of the Government Building at 15:25, July 22, 2011, when the bomb exploded … There are other important novels about Utøya that approached the terrible things that happened there (such as Brit Bildøen’s Seven Days in August and Jan Kjærstad’s Berge), but I think that this first novel on the terror attack on the Government Building is at least as significant. A convincing debut!”
