“Flatland hits the right note.’ (…) Flatland has a unique ability to say something universal through the seemingly trivial, without becoming either pompous or sentimental. That is precisely what elevates Nowhere Fast from being a very good novel to an exceptional one.”
6/6 stars

“Exquisitely crafted. (…) The literary patchwork is impressively well sewn together, precise and aptly seen …”

“Should be on the reading list for couples therapy. Most people will probably recognise traits from their own relationships in this sharp and very funny novel. (…) … Flatland has a pen good enough to write characters and environments that stand out from the more light-hearted relationship literature, where there is more focus on humour. It’s summer, and Nowhere Fast is far from the dumbest choice for holiday reading. Highly recommended as fiction, or as non-fiction for couples looking for a way out of trouble. Alternatively, as an exit option.”

“An entertaining novel about forced therapy. (…) packed with satirical comments about relationships and family life. Not least, the humour targets the therapeutic language that we risk being bombarded with in today’s society if things go wrong at home.‘
Ingunn Økland, Aftenposten

“Flatland once again shows that she is a precise, skilled and accomplished writer. (…) The descriptions and analyses are delightfully gruesome reading, where each of us can choose whether we prefer to recognise ourselves or our loved ones.”
Andreas Wiese, Dagbladet

“Flatland shows what an accurate satirist she is. Through a chorus of voices, relationships between married couples, daughters and mothers, friends and lovers, children and fathers are revealed and stripped bare to the reader’s delight and amazement. Flatland offers psychological insight and entertaining glimpses into the therapeutic landscape.”
Turid Larsen, Dagsavisen

“Flatland is in top form with her eighth novel, which is full of conflict and humour. (…) … sharp, uncompromising fun from an author at the top of her game.”
Leif Bull, Dagens Næringsliv
