Sencillo, poético, extraño... Me gusta el estilo de escritura como en círculos, como si constantemente le pasase algo por la cabeza que lo distrae del hilo principal, pero luego siempre vuelve a él y consigue que todo esté conectado, creando escenas casi sin querer.

slow-paced

Superbly written controlled narrative that switches between the characters of single mother Vibeke and her 8 year-old son Jon as the story follows their actions on a single Norwegian night. The writing is mesmerising and comforting, reminding us of cozy winter nights, then interspersed with dark and slightly sinister elements exemplified by the biting cold outside. The tension building is artfully done, and the plot unravels subtly and beautifully. Clever and hypnotic.
