Immediately enticing, endlessly charming, full of wit, magic and deep, moving humanity. It transported me to a world both familiar and utterly unknown, keeping me enthralled on every page * Claire North, author of The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August * Full of natural wonders [ and a] wonderfully zany energy * Independent * Wonderful weirdness... Manages to make both Lapland and its inhabitants seem both unutterably enchanting and utterly bonkers * Financial Times * Spiced with multiple storylines and all kinds of mythical creatures, this rich novel is a delight * Helsingin Sanomat * I feel like giving him 6 stars out of 5 - and this is exactly what I will do. Juhani Karila stretches the limits and borders of the world so wildly, that it seems only right for this literature critic to do the same * Lapin Kansa * A fix of love story and thriller, realism and fantasy, folk comedy and all sorts of popular beliefs sufficient to cure the worst case of humourlessness * Raijan kirjareppu * Karila's imagination is beyond words! The story is wild, absurd and crazy funny, written in a brilliant language and charged with a great sense of humour * Kirja vieköön *
