Hello! As today is UNs world book day, I thought I could share some recommendations with you.
Da vi var yngre/ when we were younger by Oliver Lorenski (2023)
This book is a coming of age novel, and the 19 year old author has won several awards for its innovative and youthful language.
Stargate by Ingvild H. Rishøi (2021)
This book is short and with a simple language, as the story is told by a child. But don’t let that fool you; It is a tough story, and a good read.
Not ready to read Norwegian just yet? If you are looking for a brilliant contemporary classic that are availed in many languages, try Naiv. Super. By Erlend Loe.
Let me know if you need more recommendations - I have plenty! And please share your personal favourites in the comment section below.
