Stefan Ahnhem’s An Entirely Different Story leaps to No. 1 on the official e-book bestseller list in Norway. The just published hardcover also makes its debut on the hardback fiction list.

NRK just released the viewer ratings for the third and final season of Scandinavia’s most watched TV-series of all time, Øystein Karlsen’s mega hit Exit, which premiered on Thursday last week. A mind-blowing 1.082.000 Norwegians watched the first episode over the course of just four days, a figure that proves that Exit is the most popular TV drama in Norway.

If you were to put together a piece of art from the most vital moments of your life, would the end result be a beautiful mosaic – or a hodge-podge of clutter?

“The Last Piece” truly looks unremarkable. When world-famous artist Hanna Stiltje unveils her latest artwork at the Museum of Modern Art in Stockholm, disappointed murmurs travel through the crowd. Instead of an exquisite painting or statue like the ones she’s known for, Hanna shows the audience a dresser made of junk and scraps. But they’re not just any scraps. Piece by piece, the story behind the clutter is revealed, unfolding a gripping story of parents’ betrayals of their children and the rigid blindness of the institutions meant to protect our youngest. But even more so, of daring to not close one’s eyes in the face of misery, that love has the power to win even over blood ties, and how we ought to celebrate the bravery it takes to make a difference in someone’s life.

Which is truly more note- and praiseworthy? The act of the artist under the spotlight, or the quiet kindness of the fellow human? Sofia Lundberg shows once more her unique ability to stir questions and emotions that linger with the reader. The Last Piece of Art is Lundberg’s sixth novel.

The third season of Øystein Karlsen’s hit TV series Exit premieres today on NRK in Norway. Based on true events, Exit is set in Norway’s high-flying financial world and the hugely successful dark and twisted two previous seasons instantly became the most streamed series in NRK’s history and was lauded around the world. The series is created, written and directed by Øystein Karlsen.
