"I just loved this book! ... beautiful in every sense, the writing is so yummy, and you feel as if you've been swept away by the sea to Norway.... The story just unfolds and surprises the reader with each chapter. And the chapters are fast, and flowing!"
Hollie L, Netgalley

"How many dimensions of literary delight exist? I think I experienced all here: surprise after surprise - micro to macro - subtle yet electrifying.
Magical realism with an emphasis on both magical and real."

"....creative and unique writing style ... Grierson has a very specific and sensory gift for description, making the ordinary seem magical...
... beautiful and vivid prose."
