Norwegian record

Trude Helén Hole had her first article published at the age of thirteen and has written articles for several magazines ever since. As a little girl she made an early decision to become an author. Her first novel was finished in 1994, but 12 years went by including some years in Australia where she worked on a cattle farm and a horse ranch. Back in Norway she worked 6 years with wine before her first novel came in 2006. The Truth about Lotte-Marie sold 6000 and set a Norwegian record for a debutant. Read more about the author here.

The books about Lotte-Marie are UNISEX. Good entertainment and humor are universal – laughter, irony, intelligence, romance, sex, mysteries and crime are good readings for both men and women of all ages.​​​​​​​ The character’s complexity and strength is fascinating, but even the strongest can become fragile and insecure. ​​​​​​​This changing shift in a human being and what possibly causes it, is what makes a person and a story interesting. Important questions regarding societal development and human behavior is also highlighted, which makes the books highly socially relevant. 

In this series, the author shows that she masters both balancing strength and vulnerability, humor and seriousness. Her pen is fast, steady and easygoing and her texts are unique both in form and content. This author has almost created her own literary genre with her books about Lotte-Marie.
