Conceived on an epic scale by Norway's bestselling author, The Reindeer Hunters is the second in a thrilling historical trilogy that began with The Bell in the LakeLars Mytting writes with an insight, empathy and integrity few others can match
Lars Mytting has written "The Hekne Tapestry" at the height of his powers. He may have told the story he always dreamt of telling. And what a story that is! This novel is in a class of its own, for both Mytting's standards and those of all books published this year"
Mytting writes about people of flesh and blood; he combines the language, the psychology and the social in one artistic unit [...] And above all; he mesmerizes the reader with his huge register of feelings. I'm already looking forward to book three.
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
Mytting weaves a compelling saga of love, both lost and found, and of a country in the midst of change.
