===Novels===
* In 2019, memoirist, journalist, and professor Wendy Swallow published ''Searching for Nora: After the Doll's House''. Swallow's historical novel tells the story of Nora Helmer's life from the moment in December 1879 that Nora walks out on her husband and young children at the close of ''A Doll's House''. Swallow draws from her research into Ibsen's play and iconic protagonist, the realities of the time, and the 19th-century Norwegian emigration to the US, following Nora as she first struggles to survive in Christiania (today's Oslo) and then travels by boat, train, and wagon to a new home in the western prairie of [[Minnesota]].
