MixedI read this for my book club last year and I wanted to like this a little bit more. Thought that this was a really interesting book. Not a favorite, but feels very Scandinavian.

But so profound is this evening between them that when Unn inexplicably disappears, Siss's world is shattered.

LovedDespite its deep emotional metaphors, The Ice Palace it works equally well as an opaque adult fable. It's easily obtainable now, and it's a must-read work for those looking for something different.
