In the Month of the Midnight Sun (Paperback)

Ekback...has a tremendous sense of place. Vividly conveying the desolation of the landscape in this haunting novel - The Sunday Times

A gripping, beautifully written novel that I devoured in a day. Cecilia Ekback has a tremendous feel for the landscape of the north, and her portrayal of the small community who live under the mountain of Blackasen, their suspicion of the outsiders who come amongst them, and the land's own power and hold over their lives and fates, is as thrilling as it is fascinating. - Hannah Kent, author of Burial Rites

The writing is atmospheric, vivid and compelling. - Choice magazine

Masterfully thrilling. - The Bookbag

Ekback is a talented writer... this book is never less than absorbing. - The Times

With In the Month of the Midnight Sun, we're given more ambitious, literate Nordic Noir from Swede Cecilia Ekbäck (writing in English), who provides an elusive poetic feel not common in the genre. An orphaned boy and a privileged, rebellious young women are uneasy fellow travellers through the threatening perpetual daylight of the far north as they move towards a strange destiny. As in Wolf Winter, Ekbäck once again proves that she is in the very front rank of Scandinavian crime writers. - Independent

Praise for Wolf Winter - :

Like a silent fall of snow; suddenly, the reader is enveloped... visually acute, skilfully written; it won't easily erase its tracks in the reader's mind. - Hilary Mantel, author of Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies

Exquisitely suspenseful, beautifully written, and highly recommended. - Lee Child

WOLF WINTER repays reading for the beauty of its prose, its strange compelling atmosphere and its tremendous evocation of the stark, dangerous, threatening place, which exists in the far north and in the hearts of all of us. - Guardian

A compelling, suspenseful story. - The Sunday Times

Fans of The Miniaturist will love flashing back to the dark bleakness of 1717 Lapland in Cecilia Ekback's debut. - Grazia
