“The start of the literary autumn could hardly be better: Mari Ulset is a master of rendering the small tensions of the everyday in an undramatic, yet densely loaded language. Mari Ulset has found an exceptionally stylish form to her quiet depictions of all that is evocative and unresolved in a young life. There are not many others who can create so much excitement and intensity […].”

“Mari Ulset has written a wonderful novel about getting caught up in your emotions… Mari Ulset has delivered a solid follow-up to her debut novel from three years ago. It will be interesting to follow this unassuming authorship as it progresses.”

“Excellent novel… using language that is simple yet poetically ambiguous at the same time. Mari Ulset from Straumsnes is without a doubt one of the foremost authors of her generation in this country… a more profound underlying tone – a quiescent longing and expectation of summer days that forms the nerve centre of the story. Recommended!”
