Each spring and fall, NORLA chooses a selection of Norwegian books of current interest for book fairs and literary events.
We’re thrilled that TWO of our authors have been selected to the list for Spring 2022: Therese Tungen’s “TURN AROUND” and Thomas Reinertsen Berg’s “TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH”
TURN AROUND is a heartbreaking book written by a mother trying to find her way through the chaos after her son died, and an attempt to write about who Edvin really was.
Here’s a video of Therese presenting the book.
TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH: A HISTORY OF SPICES follows the strands of spices back to earth’s ancient history, explaining why the unique plants grow exactly where they do and what is so special about them. The book has already sold to Ediciones Godot (World Spanish) and ZNAK (Poland)!
Here’s a video of Thomas presenting the book.

The upcoming series The Fortress (Festning Norge) won the award for best script at the most prestigious international series festival Series Mania in France. The series is based on an idea and script developed by John Kåre Raake and Linn-Jeanethe Kyed, and was the only Norwegian series on the programme.
With more than 20 years in the business, his track record includes feature films and drama series spanning a wide range of genres for both adults and children.
