Reviews

Linn Ullmann has written something of beauty and solace and truth. I don't know how she managed to sail across such dangerous waters * Rachel Cusk * This magnificent, elegant work is pure tour de force... one of the best things I've read in a long, long time * Ali Smith * [An] exquisite and warm novel ... Among Norway's contemporary writers, Ullmann might be the finest sentence by sentence * John Freeman * Unquiet is a wonderfully absorbing and moving family story told with a directness, naturalness, and grace that can only result from Linn Ullmann's close attention to the eloquent details of day-to-day life, her honest embrace of herself and the people close to her, and a keen sensitivity to language and the high demands of good writing * Lydia Davis * I've long admired Linn Ullmann's fiction, and Unquiet is her masterpiece. Based on her upbringing as the child of two great artists, it is the portrait of complex loves; of a youth divided and inspired by diametrically opposed creative influences; and of the ravages of age. Calm yet fierce, exquisitely rendered, this novel imprints itself indelibly?as if you, too, had been there * Claire Messud * Ullmann navigates the dangerous and fissile territory... with great power. I am in awe * Edmund de Waal * Effortlessly lucid, full of grace and restraint * Sunday Times * A powerful and unsettling hybrid of memoir, fiction and meditation ... The work of a lifetime * Guardian *
