“Many have written well about the brutality of adolescence  But few have done so better than Maria Kjos Fonn. (…) a powerful novel that will stay with the reader for a long time (…) an unusually talented storyteller.” VG

“Kinderwhore is a tough read, but also well narrated, insightful and enlightening. A book about the unfathomable and the real. A novel everyone ought to read.” Dagbladet

“Raw, powerful, insistent (…) No one will remain unmoved after reading this novel.” Adresseavisen

“Extremely strong about the struggle for – and against – an endurable life after child neglect and assault. Maria Kjos Fonn has written a wise and distinct book, where literary quality of both the language and the composition is very high. A tough read, but mandatory for anyone who think they know something about being a victim” Dagsavisen

“One of this fall’s most important books” Tara

“Maria Kjos Fonn’s novel makes a deep impact, not just because the story told is so traumatic, but because the content and form are so tightly connected. (…) The result is both beautiful and terrible. Like the books of Stig Sæterbakken, it gives you a sense of defenslessness. Maria Kjos Fonn must never stop writing” Vårt Land

“The horror of adolesence is real, something Maria Kjos Fonn describes with tremendous literary force.” Morgenbladet
