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.

After careful consideration of several production companies, Anne Elvedal has chosen Monster to develop a TV series based on her critically acclaimed psychological thriller, You Can Call Me Jan.
Anne Elvedal’s gripping psychological thriller You Can Call Me Jan has earned its place on both Adresseavisa’s and NRK’s prestigious lists of the best books of the year.
The Knit Awards took place this weekend, and two of our amazing Knitting Book authors walked away with prestigious prizes.
“‘You Can Call Me Jan’ is a masterfully written thriller that draws you deeper and deeper into the heroine’s dark world,” says Claudia Winkler, senior fiction editor at Jo Nesbø’s German publishing house, Ullstein Verlag.
We congratulate Anders Totland with his nomination for Bokslukerprisen 2024!
