Linn Ullmann has written something of beauty and solace and truth. I don't know how she managed to sail across such dangerous waters
This magnificent, elegant work is pure tour de force... one of the best things I've read in a long, long time
[An] exquisite and warm novel ... Among Norway's contemporary writers, Ullmann might be the finest sentence by sentence
Unquietis a wonderfully absorbing and moving family story told with a directness, naturalness, and grace that can only result from Linn Ullmann's close attention to the eloquent details of day-to-day life, her honest embrace of herself and the people close to her, and a keen sensitivity to language and the high demands of good writing
I've long admired Linn Ullmann's fiction, andUnquietis her masterpiece. Based on her upbringing as the child of two great artists, it is the portrait of complex loves; of a youth divided and inspired by diametrically opposed creative influences; and of the ravages of age. Calm yet fierce, exquisitely rendered, this novel imprints itself indelibly?as if you, too, had been there
Ullmann navigates the dangerous and fissile territory... with great power. I am in awe
Effortlessly lucid, full of grace and restraint
A powerful and unsettling hybrid of memoir, fiction and meditation ... The work of a lifetime
