"Tim Parks does an admirable job of keeping the ice-cold language flowing. " -- Publishers Weekly "Like all great books, it's really like nothing else. It's like itself." -- Gabe Habash - Publishers Weekly "This novella is filled with conflicted, often dark, emotion. The tension lies not so much in what happens, as in the sombre frostiness of the prose... A tale-captured so deftly in this translation by Tim Parks-of stark, poetic beauty." -- Joseph Schreiber - roughghosts "An elegantly structured and stubbornly moving study of innocence destroyed and love denied. Very accomplished indeed." -- Kirkus Reviews "She has the enviable first glance for people and things, she harbors a mixture of distracted levity and authoritative wisdom." -- Ingeborg Bachmann
