More About the Author
Product Description
Alderney Society Bulletin, August 2000
From Barbara's pen comes an immensely readable account of two British girls with a sense of adventure which led them in 1953 to embark on short-term careers as housemaids in a sympathetic Norwegian household near Oslo.
The book chronicles their often hilarious adventures in this staunchly pro-British country where the girls noted approvingly that the men "dallied with charming insouciance". More seriously, the author provides interesting glimpses of Nordic customs and everyday life in a nation then still recovering from the ravages of a savage Nazi Occupation. There are graphic descriptions of the beautiful Norwegian countryside and interesting comments on Norwegian domestic life.
We congratulate Barbara on giving us such an exhilarating read. Aptly subtitled "A Saucy Saga of the North", it is difficult to put the book aside once opened - surely the hallmark of a successful work.

This review is from: Naughty in Norway: A Saucy Saga of the North (Paperback)
I found it very easy reading, sometimes obviously tongue-in-cheek; all my Norwegian friends feel the same as I do about it. The last chapter made me want to cry!

Once I started reading the book I couldn't put it down. It really drew me into the atmosphere of Norway and I kept on wanting to know what the girls were going to do next!
