The Girl in the Snow

Ann-Christin Gjersøe

The Girl in the Snow is the beginning of a series set at the Sommersholm manor in the 1800s. Sommersholm is a venerable manor that has belonged to the Adler family for generations. Two young women with very different lives live there: the landowner's daughter, Rose, and Alise, a maid. Alise's grandmother got to know the Adler family's darkest secrets as a young chambermaid at Sommersholm. Until the day she died, she never revealed to anyone what she saw and heard. But the secrets did not follow her to the grave. After three years in Australia, the heir of Sommersholm, Birkthorn Adler, returns home to Norway. He went there against his father's will, and three years of separation have not dampened the strife between father and son. When he left, Alise was a young girl, but she has not forgotten the landowner's son who saved her life on a freezing cold winter night many years ago.

Gooseberry Sisters

Siri Østli

Sisters Marilyn and Marlene are both named after Hollywood stars. But that is where the similarity ends. Marlene is the one with her life in perfect control – anything from fashion and her house to her life partner and ovulation. Still it is the enchanting 'My' who finds it easier to make friends – and have children. My's seemingly perfect life has just imploded. Her husband slept with the nanny, and now she’s left both him and her home. She's also lost her self-confidence. With her daughter Amanda, My has moved back in with her mother. There, My has to deal with journalists and gossipers, the helpless pony-tail-man who's her mother latest project, and the child protection services. But she also learns the importance of having a sister, and how to stand up straight when everything around her falls to pieces. Charming and well-written! This is a charming book, easy to read, funny and well-written. It has a colourful character gallery and just the right amount of complications. I am again struck by how brilliantly Siri Østli masters this genre. DAGBLADET

Long Live the Post Horn!

Vigdis Hjorth

Ellinor, a communications adviser in her thirties, have a feeling that there is not enough seriousness and sincerity in existence. That her life is to banal for the despair she is feeling. When a colleague goes missing, she has to take on the project he was in the middle of doing for Postkom. By teaching the employees in the Postal Service about the media, power and politics, she is to assist them in the introduction of the third postal directive from the EU. WINNER OF THE NORWEGIAN CRITICS AWARD“If you are going to read just one novel about loneliness and the postal service, let it be this one! (…) It is almost impossible to know where to start when you talk about Hjorths novels. They are instant, but keep hanging around kicking you after you finish reading. This time she brings together politics, the postal service and a lonely woman. Can that be interesting? Yes, with Hjorth it can.” VG “Seldom have I gotten so high on a novel as I did when I was reading Vigdis Hjorths book about the EU Postal Directive. (…)One of her best books. (…) I am almost tempted to say Long Live Vigdis Hjorth!”AFTENPOSTEN Vigdis Hjorth was awarded the Norwegian Critics Award for this novel.
