Reviews

'A haunting, offbeat novella of real profundity.' Lionel Shriver 'With the detached spare prose and mysterious internal logic of a fairy tale, the writing has a dark, transformative power - it gets into the blood stream and refuses to leave. Beguiling and original.' The Times 'Erpenbeck excels as miniaturist, examining the psychology of her blank-eyed outsider with language as sharp as a scalpel.' Guardian 'Intense and beautifully written' Time Out 'A book that begins simply and ends simply, yet one that prods at you until you are completely overwhelmed. A fresh literary sensation.' 5-star reader comment on amazon.co.uk
