Wolf Hour is a fast-paced, psychologically rich thriller that rewards close attention and has a genuine mind bender of an ending.
– Apple Books Review
In every way, this is a generous, warmly friendly, funny, and thoroughly delightful series of books.
– BTJ
A brilliant novel that – without false pathos – beautifully addresses aging, saying goodbye, and reflecting on one’s own successes and failures. A highly recommended debut novel!
– Belletristik Couch
I’m impressed. Moved. Feeling speechless and struggling to put my experience into words. You’re the One I Write About is a strong, beautiful and exhilarating read.
– Agneta Norrgård, literary critic
Two giants of Nordic thrillers are here joining forces to launch a series. (…) Johana Gustawsson and Thomas Enger orchestrate a formidable mechanism where everyone seems to be concealing a piece of the truth.

Nowhere Land/Women in Revolt is the first part of a trilogy. It is about being so young that life is a horizon of possibilities and resistance, about what it takes to become an artist, and what stories one tells when nothing has yet happened.
