Daily Telegraph
«Petterson catches so effectively the thing that haunts all of us, the knowledge of how fragile life is...He captures the essence of a man's existence with a clean-lined freshness that hits you like a burst of winter air - surprising and breathtaking...touching humour...the narrative is beautifully balanced...Petterson writes with robust unpretentiousness. His story gathers pace like growing up, and stimulates heart and mind like a brisk country walk.»
Daily Express
«Limpid prose...an impressive novel of rare and exemplary moral courage.»
Independent on Sunday
«A novel of considerable quality.»
