It fascinates two young girls, lonely Unn and lively Siss, who strike up an intense friendship. When Unn decides to explore the Ice Palace alone and doesn't return, Siss must try to cope with the loss of her friend without succumbing to a frozen world of her own making.

Recenzii

How simple this novel is. How subtle. How strong. How unlike any other. It is unique. It is unforgettable. It is extraordinary.
It is hard to do justice toThe Ice Palace. . . The narrative is urgent, the descriptions relentlessly beautiful, the meaning as powerful as the ice piling up on the lake.
Vesaas's laconic sentences are as cold and simple as ice - and as fantastic.
The atmosphere created is magical: rather than explaining something, he will just plant a poetic statement and let it grow within you.
But if I had to choose a book I'm surprised isn't the most famous book in the world it might beThe Ice Palaceby Tarjei Vesaas.
A haunting story, full of ice and wind and poetry.
