Reviews

This is both a wonderful historical novel and a spell-binding individual portrait . . . This is a marvellous translation of a masterly work
* * Observer * *

Nadolny brilliantly sets the narrative pace to the rhythms of the frozen landscape, and to the slowness which is bred by hunger
*ROBERT MACFARLANE*

Time, action and vision - a magical hat-trick and one that this translation pays faithful tribute to, capturing grand adventures like a detailed painting
* * Scotsman * *

Sten Nadolny shipped us into beautiful, fatal Arctic wastes with his spellbinding novels
*BOYD TONKIN*

Slow movements of emotion and plot pull the reader expertly in, and the book with its self-consciously ponderous charm, offers all the pleasures of the best historical fiction
