'One of the most exciting and thoughtful novels I've read this year ... a wonderful novel'

Daily Mail

'Another virtuoso performance from David Guterson ... Gripping ... It balances the tension between belief and despair without ever losing its sense of mystery'

Los Angeles Times Book Review

'Guterson has worked up a flawless prose style ... His books have such exquisite evocations of landscape that his local tourist office should be paying him top dollar'

The Times

'A story as dark and claustrophobic as the forest in the title ... intriguing, it will keep you guessing until the very end'
