"Nors, known primarily as a fiction writer, here embarks on a languorous and evocative tour of her native Denmark ... The dramas of the past are evoked not so much through individual characters as through their traces—buildings, ruins, shipwrecks—and this westerly Denmark is less the land of Hans Christian Andersen fairy tales and sleek Georg Jensen designs than a place of ancient landscapes steeped in myth ... People aren't wholly incidental to the narrative. Nors introduces us to a variety of colorful characters, and shares vivid memories of her family's time in a cabin on the coast south of Thyborøn. But in a way that recalls the work of Barry Lopez, nature is at the heart of this beautiful book, framed in essay-like chapters, superbly translated by Caroline Waight."
