At the website of Trøndelag Theatre the following, among other things, is written about The Notebook:

"A young woman leaves two twin brothers with her mother in the country. There is a war, and the town is no longer a place for small children. They are put to hard work by their grandmother, who hates her daughter and calls her grandchildren sons of a bitch. Nor are they protected from the cruelties of war, and they must find ways to handle their new lives with starvation, pain, cold and abuse. As a survival strategy, the twins develop a moral standard of their own.

In this story, most time markers are erased, and from the perspective of the children it is suddenly unimportant which war or which political conflicts lie at the base. With the candidness of children brutal events are described without feeling, almost an ease, in which there is a clear distance between form and content."
