Mirror Shoulder Signal

Sonja is a thoroughly modern heroine.. nothing at all like Bridget Jones. Comical and clever, with a knife-twist of uneasiness The Times This novel reads like a sort of Danish Woody Allen: existential, domestic, gently humorous Daily Mail Dorthe Nors is fantastic -- Junot Diaz Witty and insightful depth.. Nors writes important modern women's fiction.. she gives back agency and centrality to older women Financial Times In this short novel Nors manages to condense the essence of life Spectator Benevolent ingenuity of Nors's writing.. excellent situational tragicomedy.. Nors's reinvention of experimental fiction is marvellous Guardian This is a book for anyone, from Stockholm to Shanghai, who finds themselves living in a city, feeling unaccountably anxious, with "restless legs poised for flight" TLS Forty-something Sonja takes control by learning to drive - with hilarious consequences Vogue An unflinching eye makes the new queen of Danish literature stand out.. very moving.. Nors' watchful eye.. the tenderness of her writing Big Issue An insightful and compassionate novel Sunday Herald A quick and offbeat read. It might just remind you of situations you've allowed to control you and inspire you to find a way out Bookbag The ending.. is perfect: hopeful without sentimentality, allowing for love but not equating love with magic. And the love comes from a most unexpected place, one that made me smile with surprised delight Elle Things (blog) Sharp, very funny.. deftly combining wit with acute observation A Life in Books (blog) Gripping.. how often can we honestly say that a book is unlike anything else?
