«Witty about vaginas and the west of Norway […] Here Comes the Sun is an extraordinarily good love story from a learned writer who does not hide her refined literary education. But she shows it with great humour, wit and disarming elegance.»
«I feel a deep sense of happiness because Øyehaug really doesn’t care what a successful novel is or should be. It is a true delight to trot about in this forest of a novel, to give oneself over to Øyehaug’s horizon-broadening and life-affirming humoristic gaze, which time and time again creates clearings in the wilderness.»
«Øyehaug successfully expands both the pathetic and the euphoric aspects of Helga’s fumbling search for confirmation from Even. Rather than digging into the latent intrigues of the menage-a-trois, Øyehaug focuses on the act of falling in love itself, on the period in which Helga and Even are still unknown to each other. Here, we get a meltingly beautiful love story where the author really unlocks her potential as an existential humorist.»
«Gunnhild Øyehaug’s wonderfully clever and highly entertaining play on literature radiates warmth.»
«A third component is Øyehaug’s prose, which is not only filled to the brim with meta-comments and a mole-like undermining of the borders between reality and fiction, but which is also in itself so free and inventive that one never feels safe in assuming that something in the novel is just one thing; for instance, that a hen is just a hen […]»
«There are many dreams in this clever, well-written, witty and insightful book.»
«You’ve never read a love story like this.»
