What our readers are saying

WILLIAM H. DeRoche

In A Frog in the Fjord, Lorelou Desjardins recounts her first year living in Norway. Her observations are candid, perceptive, judicious, and often amusing. The reader shares her successes and setbacks in adjusting to the aloof Norwegian Culture. If you are interested what is happening in Norway and I mean what is happening to the average Norwegian, then Lorelou is your guide.

I read the author’s blog a few years ago when I was frustrated about Norwegian culture as a newbie to this society. Her writing made me laugh and I kept reading one after another. This book has a very humorous but deep insights view on the Norwegian society and its unique culture. I respect the author’s openness to share her story on dating and it is quite open my eyes. Among several books I read in this subject, this book is most enjoyable to read!

I really enjoyed reading A Frog in the Fjord. My husband is of Norwegian descent, and this book gives a lot of insight into Norwegian men. The author writes about aspects of Norway that aren’t covered in any travel guide. I recommend it for its frankness and casual writing style. I’ve already sent it to friends as a gift.
