Let the Northern Lights Erase Your Name by Vendela Vida
'The hottest young writer in US fiction' -- Guardian
Vida's prose has the purity of the Lapland winter that it describes.. the writing possesses the clarity of church bells or winter light. -- Neel Mukherjee * The Times *
Beautifully written... The writing is deceptively light: you can skip through it, happily enjoying its spare, humorous style, but there are subtleties that call for slow reading... then the book really takes off, growing darker and deeper. -- Jonathan Gibbs * Daily Telegraph *
Graceful and inventive. -- Peter Carty * Independent *
The whole book [has] peculiarly biting charm, a narrative that manages to be both eerily surreal and fundamentally credible. -- Madison Smartt Bell * New York Times *
