Reviews
-
“In many ways, Battle is a feel-good novel about love, written for young adults.”
-
“A true Romeo and Juliet story, about Amalie and Mikael in Oslo right here and now. About double lives, class and love, but most of all about dance and finding yourself and your own style.”
-
“A very well-written young adult novel about double lives, social status, dance and love. A story, carved out with skillful pace, in tune with social issues that concern young people.”
