“A vital and strong novel … Ingebrigtsen has without a doubt become one of the most striking and characteristic voices on the Norwegian literary scene.”
Adresseavisen

“The author portrays a human being who must be outside his own personal experience in most essential areas, and he does it with excellence. Just as brilliantly he handles the material through dramatic passages … This all results in the organic universe which Ingebrigtsen has composed with this great novel, where the language is a bull’s eye from the first sentence, where everything is right and nothing seems stupid, clumsy or stuck on”
Dag og Tid

”A solid portrait of a woman… a splendid and appealing novel”
Stavanger Aftenblad

“Convincing novel … 31 year old Ingebrigtsen makes a solid effort in portraying a believable 69 year old woman”
Dagsavisen
