Days in the History of Silence

Praise for DAYS IN THE HISTORY OF SILENCE:
"... an intimate and intense narrative about losing oneself through losing other people....One of this year's most memorable novels." -Sindre Hovdenakk, VERDENS GANG newspaper

"In unobtrusive, elegant and incisive prose, [Merethe Lindstrøm] has produced a drama of everyday life which insinuates itself under the reader's skin....[She] is never ostentatious, and she does not use original metaphors, irony or subtext, instead depending completely on the power of her own subdued, explicit prose. There is therefore an insistent seriousness about this novel that does not fail to leave an impression of great credibility and authenticity." -Turid Larsen, DAGSAVISEN newspaper

"Stylish and clever. Merethe Lindstrøm is not only an outstanding, but also an intelligent, stylist....With DAYS IN THE HISTORY OF SILENCE she takes a stylistic step further in the methodology of depicting human fates, and this novel is one of the best she has written to date." -Margunn Vikingstad, DAG OG TID newspaper
