The Ice Palace is one of the most memorable achievements in modern literature thanks in large part to Vesaas's unique command of a sparse, figurative and fragmentary style, the beauty and effect of which is not lost in translation..

Industry Reviews
Doris Lessing
'If I had to choose a book I'm surprised isn't the most famous book in the world it might be The Ice Palace by Tarjei Vesaas.'
Max Porter
'The narrative is urgent, the descriptions relentlessly beautiful, the meaning as powerful as the ice piling up on the lake.'
The Times
'Austere poetical clarity, stoical wisdom and a vivid response to nature.'
