“Børja reads the pulse of New York, making the reader feel she’s on Manhattan herself. This is an entertaining read.”
KK, Book of the Week
“Maria Børja paints a rich portrait of the city and its inhabitants, with all its hypocrisy, hierarchy – and charm … At its best New City exposes human beings and the games they play on each other.”
Universitas
“New City shows that New York is more fun in Converse than Manolo Blahniks.”
Dagbladet
“Whether you left home this fall, have good memories from a trip to or only dream about New York, Maria Børja’s novel New City could be a happy date.”
Drammens Tidende
“Maria Børja portrays the New York squares, famous streets, restaurants, bars and people so well that I feel I’m there – even if I’ve never visited … in a flowing, solid and vivid voice …”
Vårt Land
“There is no doubt Børja really loves New York. For one who shares the love, it is a true pleasure reading about Lisa’s nightly wanderings and bar crawls on the Lower East Side.”
Moss Avis
“Did Lisa make the right choice … and is it worth it for the reader? The answer is yes. Børja would never let her reader down on the last page.”
