"How simple this novel is. How subtle. How strong. How unlike any other. It is unique. It is unforgettable. It is extraordinary" Doris Lessing
"I'm surprised it isn't the most famous book in the world" Max Porter, author of Grief is the Thing with Feathers
«It is hard to do justice to The Ice Palace . . . The narrative is urgent, the descriptions relentlessly beautiful, the meaning as powerful as the ice piling up on the lake. (The Times)»
«The atmosphere created is magical: rather than explaining something, he will just plant a poetic statement and let it grow within you. (The Telegraph)»
