Glowing Praise for ‘Us Against Us’

Emma Bouvin’s literary debut novel Us Against Us has received a rave review from Swedish daily newspaper Dagens Nyheter. Here’s a glimpse into their praise:

“Emma Bouvin’s brilliant literary debut novel moves between misery and laughter […] When the family drama eventually unfolds, Emma Bouvin masterfully succeeds in portraying the characters in their humanly vulnerable imperfection […] People with feelings, behaviors of compulsive repetition, inabilities and longing emerge from the witty phrasing. […] This is a story [that] devilishly satirizes therapeutic jargon about the inner child, while the feeling of being rejected and inconsequential permeate many of the characters’ lives.”

Us Against Us was published in Sweden by Norstedts on July 25th, 2025.
