Review
A "Globe and Mail" Best Book
"What she has made in this case--thanks to a rare fusion of imagination and intellect, sensual poetry and cerebral prose, youthful joy and elderly wisdom--is an entire world, compressed but energetically alive in all its details. When we have artists like this, who needs gods?"
--"The Observer "
"Byatt's prose is majestic, the lush descriptive passages--jewelled one minute, gory the next--a pleasure to get lost in."
--"The Telegraph"
"The stern beauty of the writing makes the slender book frighteningly compelling."
--"National Post"
"The pleasures afforded by this treatment of the myth are numerous. Byatt paints beautiful and fantastic word-pictures, glittering verbal special effects."
--"The Scotsman"
"Brilliantly effective. . . . Surely among the most beautiful and incisive [pages] Byatt has ever written."
--"The Independent"
"From the Hardcover edition."
"A brilliant, highly intelligent, fiercely personal rendition of the Scandinavian mythology.... A gorgeous enrichment and interpretation [of the original myth]."
"--"Ursula K. Le Guin, "Literary Review
"
"Do read this book. Read every page of it. It is a great gift from the greatly gifted."
"--"Gale Zoe Garnett, " The Globe and Mail
"
"Byatt's prose is majestic, the lush descriptive passages--jewelled one minute, gory the next--a pleasure to get lost in."
