“This is probably one of the best books I’ve read about mental health … Sick Sister is sad, beautiful, engaging, and captivatingly written in a language that highlights characters and surroundings … This book leaves a lasting impact.”
Mai Lene Fløysvik Hæåk, Stavanger Aftenblad, the best books of 2023

“Skomsvold once again demonstrates that she is one of our very finest contemporary authors. Reading Kjersti Annesdatter Skomsvold can be like gazing into existence itself … Skomsvold’s uncompromising treatment of these themes is inspiring, not only because it offers hope but also because the language is bare and beautiful, filled with surprises”
Ida Vågsether, Morgenbladet

“Sick Sister is a brilliant example of how the intertwined existence and creation of twins can be particularly suited to describing anorexia and starvation … It is well observed, without any romanticization, yet still beautifully told.”
Inger Bentzrud, Dagbladet, 5/6 stars
