NORDIN RINGHOF AGENCY was founded in 2023 as an author agency based in Copenhagen. The idea behind the agency is to build and maintain close relationships with its authors and to advance their positions as important cultural voices in the world.
In 2015, the historical novel When Grandma Danced in the Rain was published, telling the story of Juni who returns to the house of her deceased grandparents on a small Norwegian island where she discovers a photograph: it shows her grandmother Tekla as a young woman with a German soldier. Juni can no longer ask anyone so the search for the truth takes her to Berlin and to the small town of Demmin in eastern Germany where hundreds of families died in May 1945. Juni realizes that this is about much more than a secret love. In the fall of 2021, Teige followed up with When Grandpa Breathed With the Sea which takes us to detention camps on Java where the Japanese held thousands of people under WWII including hundreds of women and children. In the fall of 2024, Teige published the novel Until We Meet Again By the Sea, completing the popular Grandma trilogy with a moving story that makes the history of female forced laborers in Norway visible for the very first time on this scale.
