Críticas:
The author takes a novelistic approach but this is journalism at its very best ... undoubtedly Seierstad's most powerful narrative to date (Sunday Times)
Scrupulously researched . . . Seierstad has a remarkable eye for the haunting detail, particularly of empathy, and of grief (Mail on Sunday)
A chilling portrait of a killer . . . Seierstad is a brilliant investigative reporter . . . her book is a psychiatric case history, as well as a close look at Norwegian society, not least by paying as much attention to Breivik's victims, as to their murderer (Guardian)
What emerges as Seierstad - a precise, distinguished war reporter and author of The Bookseller of Kabul - pieces together the evidence from police and court transcripts, from survivors, from Breivik's mother, is in part a more literary version of The Day of the Jackal (The Times)
An astonishing piece of work . . . One of Us looks straight at horror and doesn't flinch: it is classic reporting. We've been diverting ourselves so much recently with crime fiction making play with the eruption of evil into the apparently harmonious societies of Scandinavia. This is the real thing, beyond any novelist's imagining. We need to take note (Evening Standard)

On 22 July 2011 Anders Behring Breivik killed 77 of his fellow Norwegians in a terrorist atrocity that shocked the world. Many were teenagers, just beginning their adult lives. In the devastating aftermath, the inevitable questions began. How could this happen? Why did it happen? And who was Anders Breivik?
Åsne Seierstad was uniquely placed to explore these questions. An award-winning foreign correspondent, she had spent years writing about people caught up in violent conflict. Now, for the first time, she was being asked to write about her home country.
Based on extensive testimonies and interviews, One of Us is the definitive account of the massacres and the subsequent trial.
But more than that, it is the compelling story of Anders Breivik and a select group of his victims. A picture emerges of a killer - isolated, awkward, with a strange and troubled childhood. And on the other side, we come to know fascinating, dazzling young people such as Simon Sæbø and Bano Rashid, eager to contribute to their society. As we follow the path to their inevitable collision, it becomes clear just what was lost in that one day.
A gripping, shattering and vital book, One of Us is the story of a massacre and a study of evil. But it is also a story about community versus isolation, hope versus rejection, love versus bigotry - and a powerful memorial to those who lost their lives.
