Stine Pilgaard’s "Wild Horses" is a hit in Denmark!

September 10 2026

Happy publication day to Stine Pilgaard ’s Wild Horses (Ti vilde heste, Gutkind Forlag)! The first Danish reviews are in, and critics are unanimously raving about Pilgaard’s humour, linguistic talent, and warmth.

“Stine Pilgaard’s new novel about friendship and family life is funny, imaginative, and every bit as linguistically exuberant as The Land of Short Sentences […] The many warm-hearted scenes in Wild Horses come together into a beautiful whole, where imagination and reality ride side by side on the cargo bike of life. Thanks for the trip over the rainbow. Now we know it ends in Husum.” – Kristeligt Dagblad ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“A beautifully written gift of linguistic craftsmanship, full of passages you can’t help but want to read aloud … With Stine Pilgaard, we have a voice that is unique, warm, and wild.” – Weekendavisen

“Stine Pilgaard’s new novel is the antidote to every momfluencer in your feed. […] As mind-numbingly boring as it can be to Google child-rearing advice, Pilgaard makes it hysterically funny as her central theme. […] a loving and sassy reflection of the furious inner lives of parents of young children. […] Moral grey areas and glorious hypocrisy. I found myself laughing out loud.” – Soundvenue ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“In many ways, an outstanding portrait of communities that bridge differences. Razor-sharp in its dialogue and scenes, with a wonderful ear for everyday speech and an eye for the cracks in a relationship. Funnier than most other funny books.” – Information

The novel was preempted by Kagge in Norway and offers from other markets are rolling in. Get in touch for more information and an English sample!
