Unusual book
Review
`In simple prose, Ullmann perfectly captures the childish mix of naivety and cruelty in a tale akin to Lord of the Flies.'
--Observer
`As the powerful tides of the three women's memories drag them back in time, Ullmann eloquently evokes a season of red poppies and Radio Luxembourg, which turns into Lord of the Flies for girls. Only, where the boys of Golding's classic went wild like hot-blooded beasts, the firls play a cooler crueller games. ' --Daily Mail
`In Sarah Death's deft translation, Ullmann's fourth novel has an exhilarating hold on family, period and place. Yes, you do catch glimpses of her father (Ingmar Bergman) but this shows how strong a writer she has become.'
--Independent
