Critics Review
Lars Mytting writes with an insight, empathy and integrity few others can match * Jo Nesbo *Love, suspense, nature and superstition are woven together in this powerful novel… [A] taste of something deeply and genuinely Norwegian * Maya Lunde *An exquisitely atmospheric novel… 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 * Derek B. Miller *Mytting weaves a compelling saga of love, both lost and found, and of a country in the midst of change * Sunday Times *The Reindeer Hunters… hints at the magnetic pull of superstitions that thread beneath the conscious mind like ‘veins of silver and slag’. It also maps an age of rapid change… [A] craftily woven tale steeped in rich local dyes * Financial Times *
