The Necessary Rituals of Maren Gripe by Lonn Oystein
A giddyingly magical fable of the power of unshackled desire, set in a North Sea fishing community.‘This is a book for the reader to appreciate in the way one would a painting by an Old Master – from a variety of angles and distancesIt is a novel that will linger in the mind long after the reader finishes it.’
Dagens Naeringsliv
‘This is a tale of subtle madness and of impossible love…a magnetic and magical story, which must be savoured attentively.’
Barbara Mella, What’s on in London
‘Oystein Lonn’s clear, quiet prose reflects both the white light of the Nordic landscapes and the folklorish essence of his narrative.’
Claire Allfree, Metro
‘Every now and then you come across something so outstandingly good that you have to tell everyone.’
Eoghan Corry, Andersonstown News
