Review:

It's a dark but colourfully told tale, richly laced with elements of gothic mystery. * Mail on Sunday * A compelling suspenseful story. * Sunday Times * Ekback is wonderful at evoking place, and the coming ling of real and spirit worlds works a treat. There is so much to enjoy. * Guardian * Memorable and interesting characters, this story will stay with me for a long time. * Cook Create Read blog * There are shivers aplenty in Cecilia Ekback's cracking atmospheric debut. * Saturday Express Magazine * Strong sense of place, robust characters and gothiky atmosphere. * Woman & Home * This debut by Swedish-born writer creeps up on its reader - steadily immersing them in its distant dangerous world. Eighty pages in, it is a surprise to look up and discover you are not snowbound. * Metro * This story of the struggle for survival of a family of Finnish settlers in Swedish Lapland in the early 18th Century is not for the faint hearted. The writer creates a convincing atmosphere of a very strange time in a very strange land... The details of how these people survive in an extraordinary landscape stays with you long after you have finished reading. * Daily Mail * Cecilia Ekback provides something fresh. . . haunting . . . ugly secrets are soon brought to light at the cost of great danger to Maija and her family. Highly individual fare. * Financial Times * Exquisitely suspenseful, beautifully written, and highly recommended -- Lee Child, No1 bestselling author of the Jack Reacher thrillers
