abrswf 's review for:

The Ice Palace by Tarjei Vesaas
4.0

Beautiful, poetic, prose novel about two little girls who develop a strong bond and what happens next. This is a frustrating book too because it has an unfinished feeling at the end and because some critical components, for example the "promise" one of the girls make, seem to disappear somewhere in translation. One star off for the enigmatic translation.
