Reviews

Magnusson is superb at evoking a landscape rich in history and prehistory, although the novel's greatest strength is her feminist interpretation of Norse mythology in a story that centres equally on Hel and Helen, both of whom are daughters wounded by ""fathers whom they still, in the last winter of their own lives, struggles to forgive"". * Irish Times *
