Imago by Eva-Marie Liffner
Three men - a Danish policeman, a young German-Jewish refugee and a German professor - venture out into the quagmire to find clues to the mummified soldier's identity.
Esmé Olsen is, like her author, a woman whose powers of imagination and recall are considerable, not to say formidable.. Every era, every episode is densely imagined and detailed * Guardian *
A slice of psychogeography... This is a story of broad horizons that brings together battlefield horrors, a touch of German Romanticism, and tales of the supernatural * Independent *
A terrific novel... Atmospheric, clever and gripping * Observer *
