Eyes of the Rigel by Roy Jacobsen
The third novel in a historical trilogy that began with the International Booker shortlisted The Unseen
A fascinating study of the complex reality of postwar society. . The novel shimmers with characteristically striking imagery . . . Jacobsen can make almost anything catch the light -- Johanne Elster Hanson * Times Literary Supplement *
The third part of a remarkable series of books . . . Don Bartlett and Don Shaw deserve much praise for their translation: their ingenious rendering of Ingrid's island dialect, which closely echoes the original Norwegian, is accompanied by the lyrical simplicity of Jacobsen's descriptions. -- Theodora Danek * Guardian. *
Taken together, Jacobsen has given us an epic of Norway's experience of the first half of the 20th century that is subtle and moving. -- David Mills * Sunday Times. *
