The response from these publishers has been phenomenal:
Lindstedt’s new novel is convincing and impressive, exciting and provoking. It is fascinating how playfully easy Laura manages to narrate a female experience that is equally thought-provoking and entertaining. My Friend Natalia is a sharp and stimulating novel, written with the finger on the pulse of time by a writer with great authority.
– Signe Russwurm, Oktober, Norway
Laura has a uniquely fresh voice that has powerful things to say. It keeps on echoing long after you’ve finished the book.
– René Tendermann, Rahva Raamat, Estonia
Laura Lindstedt has a special place in my heart – and in Norstedts’ heart – and we want to follow the authorship.
– Lisa Lindberg, Norstedts, Sweden
My Friend Natalia is an exceptional, extraordinary book. It is a bold, and brave novel about a young woman’s sexuality, the power of narration, and identity. It is literary, playful, brilliant, feministic and surprisingly funny! Definitely something worth taking a look at!
NEW DEAL INFORMATION: We are also excited to share the news that Laura Lindstedt’s previous novel Oneiron will be published in Poland in 2021 by Wydawnictwo Poznańskie! Read more about Oneiron here.
