David Nicholls forrige roman En dag ble oversatt til over 40 språk, har solgt 5 millioner eksemplarer på verdensbasis og er en av de mestselgende engelske romanene overhodet de siste årene. Også her i Norge ble boken en bestselger. Forventningene til oppfølgeren har vært enorme. Nå kommer endelig Oss – historien om en familie fortalt gjennom det som kan være de aller siste ukene de tilbringer sammen. En komedie om ekteskap og vennskap, aldring og ungdom, foreldre og barn, stillstand og forandring. Alt fortalt med David Nicholls unike kombinasjon av klokskap, komikk og overraskende vemod.
Han skriver med vidd. Han turnerer gjenkjennelig stoff på en glimrende måte. (…) Resultatet er en fengslende og medrivende roman som vil tekke mange av Nicholls tilhengere.
Brynjulf Jung Tjønn, VG
Nicholls skriver lekende lett (...) Dette er smart humor.
Anne Cathrine Straume, NRK
Us is a quiet joy, written with an undemonstrative simplicity that is hard to achieve. It’s also a novel that captures the zeitgeist and will speak to many middle-aged people who find that their marriage has run its course and realise they must start out on a new romantic journey.
Tim Auld, The Telegraph
The tearful fans of One Day — the five million people who bought it around the world in 40 languages, his agent, his publishers, the film producers who would like to option his new novel — can relax. Actually, they can rejoice. Nicholls has done it again.
David Sexton, Evening Standard
Yes, it is an easy book to read. Yes, it will sell millions. Yes, some people who don’t know any better will be snobby about it. But there is real philosophical depth amid the entertainment. Nicholls has a feel for the big stuff, even as he zooms in on the soft mints, making this a sad, funny, soulful joy of a book.
Matt Haig, The Guardian
Extremely funny.
Christina Patterson, The Sunday Times
Booker Prize judges tend to be hairshirt-ish about literature, and are fortified by the puritanical suspicion that too much enjoyment is bad for the soul. This is the only reason I can imagine for their failure to admit Us to the Booker shortlist.
Craig Brown, Daily Mail
Nicholls is a master of the braided narrative, weaving the past and present to create an intricate whole, one that is at times deceptively light and unexpectedly devastating (...) this is a funny and moving novel perfect for a long journey.
Kirkus Review
Of course, a reviewer is only ever respected if he demolishes someone\'s work and even if he loves it can often feel duty-bound to toss in at least one criticism. But I\'m not going to do this as I think Us is a perfect book. And I don\'t care if that means I\'ve failed as a reviewer, because I\'ve already won as a reader.
Matt Cain, The Independent
Nicholls writes with such tender precision about love, this time about a type of relationship often neglected as unsexy - the long-married couple.
Janice Turner, The Times
A wrenching examination of a journey through Europe that goes terribly wrong and a consideration of what it means to be a parent today.
Philip Hensher, The Guardian
I loved this book. Funny, sad, tender: for anyone who wants to know what happens after the Happy Ever After.
