One of the best books ever. An original and bizarre read that plays with perceptions of religion and belief.

I just recently read this and it still lingers in the back of my mind. A story about loneliness, lust and survival in a literally ice cold world. Told with a restrained, poetic and ice clear prose.

I find this title similar to the "The Seal Wife". As well as in story as in regard to the poetic prose which is minimalistic and yet very rich and captivating.

A big book, both in pages and idea, it´s larger than life. Very strange, very original and so hard to put down.

Written by a Japanese court woman in the 10. century. It gives a fascinating glimpse of a strange, enchanting world long gone.

An author that I stumbled upon by accident and absolutely fell in love with. Set in Africa and dark, violent and utterly funny.

London in the times of Charles Dickens. And this time with all the dirty details, lust and frustration.

How to escape Hitler, in real life and as an superhero in comic strips. It has it all. It´s funny, touching and hard to put down.

I simply had to put Grete Roulund on the list. A Danish author that could tell the most fantastic, disturbing, dark stories about all the different kinds of evil in the world.
