I don't know how she managed to sail across such dangerous
waters
*Rachel Cusk*
This magnificent, elegant work is pure tour de force... one of the
best things I've read in a long, long time
*Ali Smith*
[An] exquisite and warm novel ... Among Norway's contemporary
writers, Ullmann might be the finest sentence by sentence
*John Freeman*
Unquiet is 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
*Lydia Davis*
I've long admired Linn Ullmann's fiction, and Unquiet is 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
*Claire Messud*
Ullmann navigates the dangerous and fissile territory... with great
power. I am in awe
*Edmund de Waal*
Effortlessly lucid, full of grace and restraint
*Sunday Times*
A powerful and unsettling hybrid of memoir, fiction and meditation
... The work of a lifetime
*Guardian*
