Let the Northern Lights Erase Your Name - Tapa blanda

Vida's prose has the purity of the Lapland winter that it describes... the writing possesses the clarity of church bells or winter light. * The Times * Beautifully written... The writing is deceptively light: you can skip through it, happily enjoying its spare, humorous style, but there are subtleties that call for slow reading... then the book really takes off, growing darker and deeper. * Daily Telegraph * Graceful and inventive. * Independent * The whole book [has] peculiarly biting charm, a narrative that manages to be both eerily surreal and fundamentally credible. * New York Times *
