'For the first time, Jane Fenoulhet has made this important, modernist novel accessible to English-language readers, her deft translation capturing the rich expressiveness of van Bruggen's original Dutch. In insightful accompanying commentary, Fenoulhet describes the challenges of translating van Bruggen's dynamic, intense narrative, which necessitated deep personal engagement with the novel.' The Low Countries 'The first translation of this complex and significant modernist novel into English. It [is] accompanied by an illuminating introductory commentary by Jane Fenoulhet shedding light on the difficulties of translating this ambitious novel, relevant not just for the study of modernism, but for the position Eva has in van Bruggen's oeuvre.' The Year's Work in Modern Language Studies, 81(1)
