About the Author

Tarjei Vesaas (Author)

Reviews

How simple this novel is. How subtle. How strong. How unlike any other. It is unique. It is unforgettable. It is extraordinary.
*Independent*

It is hard to do justice to The Ice Palace . . . The narrative is urgent, the descriptions relentlessly beautiful, the meaning as powerful as the ice piling up on the lake.
*The Times*

Vesaas's laconic sentences are as cold and simple as ice - and as fantastic.
*The Telegraph*

The atmosphere created is magical: rather than explaining something, he will just plant a poetic statement and let it grow within you.
*The Telegraph*

But if I had to choose a book I'm surprised isn't the most famous book in the world it might be The Ice Palace by Tarjei Vesaas.
*Times Literary Supplement*

A haunting story, full of ice and wind and poetry.
*The Guardian*
