“A dreamy, creepy, swirling of prose that eventually uncovers a story of love and violence in a coastal Finnish community.”
“The conclusion of The American Girl narrative will delight fans of the series.”
“Complex and interesting.”
“Out of The American Girl’s elusive mysteries of time and creepy teenagers-in-trouble, Fagerholm triumphs with its sequel, The Glitter Scene, mining the not-quite-real or the too real evidence of sorrow that we forget we live by.”
“The Glitter Scene balances on the ice-cold tones of David Lynch and the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice … a remarkable story of guilt, revenge, and betrayal. A beautiful novel where the distance between blissful fantasy and grim reality is never very far.”
“With the same inimitable style as in the previous novel, Monika Fagerholm opens up a dizzying world full of secrets … It is intense and compelling.”
