A Tale of Terrible Times sold to Denmark

May 29 2019

Tung tids tale continues to receive wonderful reviews in Sweden and travels now to our Danish neigbours.
Martin Graae Jørgensen in Turbine says:" A Tale of Terrible Times is an important novel, which I am happy to publish in Danmark. The shame and powerlessness that Olaug feels about society, other kids and their parents, and not least her son Daniel, is both heartbreaking and deeply beliveable. It crawls under your skin and stays there long after you have finished reading”.
