“This was bloody good. … Vahr writes easily and well – the dialogue flows, the descriptions of nature are good. (…) Given that Vahr has previously written trilogies, I hope she continues with this story too. I enjoyed every page.”
5/6 stars, Cathrine Krøger, Dagbladet

”A love story with a capital L. (…) Ellen Vahr paints a broad canvas in her new novel Away from the World. (…) Vahr writes in a light and captivating style, bringing the setting to life with plenty of dialogue. There is heart and pain in abundance here”
Guri Hjeltnes, VG

”Vahr has written a book that is confident and elegant. (…) Vahr tackles challenging topics without sugar-coating them, showing how people’s choices have consequences for others. Reading it invites reflection on such relationships, even outside the universe of the novel. (…) Borte fra verden is an important story that must be told and read. The ambitions are clear, and Ellen Vahr shows great trust in the reader.”
