Åsne Seierstad is the supreme non-fiction writer of her generation.

Luke Harding

Engrossing, important . . . There are many, many indelible images in Seierstad's account . . . As hard as it is to read about the attack . . . as monstrous as Breivik is, [his victims] on that island that day were beautiful in their idealism. They deserve to be witnessed, which is the ultimate reason to read One of Us.

Maureen Corrigan, Fresh Air on ONE OF US

Has the feel of a nonfiction novel . . . powerful and compelling.

The New York Times Book Review on ONE OF US

A masterpiece of journalism, a deeply painful chronicle of an inexplicable and horrifying attack that we'll likely never understand . . .[A] brilliant, unforgettable book.

NPR on ONE OF US

An admirable, revealing portrait of daily life in a country that Washington claims to have liberated but does not begin to understand.
