Media Reviews
'the hottest young writer in US fiction' (Guardian) * 'What a brilliantly constructed lightening-flash of a novel: compelling, surprising, economical, lush, beautifully written. Reading this book reminded me of how powerful the novel can be - how addictive and vital - and of how rarely a writer as precise, artful, and passionate as Vendela Vida comes along.' George Saunders, author of Pastoralia * 'In an era in which the lightweight seems ever-ascendant, here suddenly is Vendela Vida's Let the Northern Lights Erase Your Name, a taut, intricately layered page-turner that looks deeply and fearlessly into matters of profound human concern.' Michael Cunningham, Pulitzer Prize winning author of The Hours * 'In this searing and beautiful novel, a young woman makes her way to the far, far north of the world, where she sets the impossible task of learning that which she cannot bear to know. She is funny and fearless and absolutely unforgettable - just like this marvellous book.' Ann Packer, author of The Dive from Clausen's Pier
