Critics Review
Love, suspense, nature and superstition are woven together in this powerful novel. Set in spectacular surroundings where anything can happen it will give the reader a taste of something deeply and genuinely Norwegian. - author of THE HISTORY OF BEES
Lyrical, melancholy and with beautifully drawn characters, this pitches old beliefs against new ways with a haunting delicacy that rings true. - Daily MailMytting shows how landscape and climate can define a character … He delivers village wisdom … and jagged realism. It is a fireside read with splinters. - Financial TimesMytting’s cleverly crafted story heads inexorably to a moving conclusion - Sunday TimesAn exquisitely atmospheric novel about the struggle to cherish the beauty that is right in front of us; be it a blue-dark night, the bear-colored wood of a decaying stave church, or a love that is blooming through a late-thawing snow. The Bell in the Lake does what fiction promises: to steal you away to another world and ask you, if unfairly, to leave a little of your heart behind.Lars Mytting’s historical novel is captivating and engaging … With his powerful narrative style, intertwined story and detailed knowledge of carpentry, fishing and stave churches, there is reason to believe that this time he will again reach many many readers. - DagbladetMagnificent historical novel - AdresseavisenAbout The Author
