The Fjord - A Long Row Home sold to France

June 8 2023

Juliette Ponce in Dalva says:

Sometimes the story of someone living in a completely different environment can reveal something deep in yourself, a burried secret, an aspiration but also an empathy that’s, to me, remains one of the essential power of a good book . That’s exactly how I felt when reading the long row, by Sigri Sandberg under the dull weather of early spring Paris, and I believe many readers will as well. As we follow her journey, both mental and physical, through the Fjord and her life, we are constantly left wondering about our own inner journeys, our own challenges. The fluidity of her prose carries you from page to page, wanting to know more, wanting to be on the shore clapping her as she row past. It’s a glorious reading experience and a book to remember.

A wonderul French publishing home for Sigri’s stunning narratvie non – fiction. Les Éditions Dalva honours contemporary women authors. Through their writing these women tell us about their lives, their relationship with nature or with our society. They write to change the world, to understand it, to make us dream.

Congratulations!
