“…feel-bad with seriousness, sweetness and wit. (…) Lesjø has developed as an author since her debut novel Epicrisis (2020) and she has grown as a ‘book architect’. The new novel is constructed much more professionally, its prose is more confident, and it has a fine, flowing style. The book elegantly alternates between present and past narratives, and between the very realistic and the imaginative wishful thinking. (…) a rich, full-blooded novel.”
Janneken Øverland, Klassekampen

“…original and funny (…) An intelligent take on mental health. A story about mastering life and obsessive thoughts that many can relate to, told with insight and irony. (…) Lesjø conveys feelings like a kind of hermeneutics of suspicion. It fascinates and impresses me.”
