Fans of The Miniaturist will love flashing back to the dark bleakness of 1717 Lapland in Cecilia Ekback's debut. * Grazia * A compelling, suspenseful story. * The Sunday Times * WOLF WINTER repays reading for the beauty of its prose, its strange compelling atmosphere and its tremendous evocation of the stark, dangerous, threatening place, which exists in the far north and in the hearts of all of us. * Guardian * Exquisitely suspenseful, beautifully written, and highly recommended. -- Lee Child Like a silent fall of snow; suddenly, the reader is enveloped... visually acute, skilfully written; it won't easily erase its tracks in the reader's mind. -- Hilary Mantel, author of Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies Praise for Wolf Winter * : * With In the Month of the Midnight Sun, we're given more ambitious, literate Nordic Noir from Swede Cecilia Ekback (writing in English), who provides an elusive poetic feel not common in the genre. An orphaned boy and a privileged, rebellious young women are uneasy fellow travellers through the threatening perpetual daylight of the far north as they move towards a strange destiny. As in Wolf Winter, Ekback once again proves that she is in the very front rank of Scandinavian crime writers. * Independent * Ekback is a talented writer... this book is never less than absorbing. * The Times * Masterfully thrilling. * The Bookbag * The writing is atmospheric, vivid and compelling. * Choice magazine * A gripping, beautifully written novel that I devoured in a day. Cecilia Ekback has a tremendous feel for the landscape of the north, and her portrayal of the small community who live under the mountain of Blackasen, their suspicion of the outsiders who come amongst them, and the land's own power and hold over their lives and fates, is as thrilling as it is fascinating. -- Hannah Kent, author of Burial Rites Ekback...has a tremendous sense of place. Vividly conveying the desolation of the landscape in this haunting novel * The Sunday Times *
Cecilia Ekback was born in the north of Sweden; her parents come from Lapland. During her teens, she worked as a journalist and after university specialised in marketing. Over twenty years her work for a multinational took her to Russia, Germany, France, Portugal, the Middle East and the UK. In 2010, she finished a Masters in Creative Writing at Royal Holloway. She now lives in Calgary with her husband and twin daughters, 'returning home' to the landscape and the characters of her childhood in her writing. Her first novel, Wolf Winter, was published to great acclaim. You can find out more about Cecilia via her website www.ceciliaekback.com and you can follow her @CeciliaEkback on Twitter.
