Reviews

When Me and God Were Little by Mads Nygaard is a haunting, eloquent novel--a book that manages to subtly balance the precious surprise of childhood with an ironic wit and flashes of tragedy. Reading it, I was reminded of John Bergers brilliant Into Their Labors trilogy. This is a literary novel that deserves to be read and admired." Dinaw Mengestu, author of Children of the Revolution, winner of The Guardian First Novel Award
