NORDIN AGENCY IS thrilled to welcome author Sanne Søndergaard to the agency! Sanne is a Danish novelist, feminist commentator, and former stand-up comedian. Originally trained as a journalist, she has been a prominent voice in debates on gender equality and women’s rights for more than two decades, combining sharp social observation with wit and literary ambition.
SHE MADE HER literary debut in 2008 with the young adult novel Dear Die-ary and has since published a number of acclaimed works spanning fiction, memoir, and short stories. Her writing frequently explores questions of gender, power, identity, and the constraints placed upon women’s lives. Among her best-known books are the autobiographical Solo and the short-story collection NEJ (“No”), which examines the difficulties women face in asserting boundaries and expressing their needs in a culture that often rewards silence and accommodation.
IN HER LATEST novel The House, Sanne Søndergaard intertwines two women’s lives across generations, using a mysterious forest house to explore grief, artistic creation, and the hidden structures of patriarchal power turning the novel into a haunting and deeply unsettling reflection on love, obsession, and the stories we tell ourselves.
“Sanne Søndergaard tells the story of women’s lives then and now, with a strange house at the center. Her beautiful novel is filled with heartbreak and death and the ending will shake you!”
– Berlingske“As a dark love story and psychological ghost novel, The House is uncomfortably unsettling and effectively ominous. Sanne Søndergaard has written an atmospheric novel that can be recommended to readers who are tired of plots featuring overt psychopathic misogyny, but who would like to be entertained by misogyny with an elitist flair – and a feminist point of view that seems to justify it.”
– Weekendavisen“With The House, Sanne Søndergaard has written an intense and captivating novel in which an enigmatic architectural icon becomes the focal point for love, grief, and mystery. It is a story you devour in one sitting – and afterwards are left wondering what is really going on.”
