"A story of murky family secrets set against Norway's midwinter near-perpetual night, Berlin Poplars still manages to twinkle" -- Melissa McClements Financial Times "Ragde's writing is self-effacing and subtly crafted, an ideal tool for splintering the brothers' stout outer panelling of Norwegian wood to expose the steamy sauna of turmoil within" Independent "It's darkly funny, grabs you at the start and doesn't let go... if you want a treat, race to get this book, because it's truly heartwarming, and so, so funny" Dublin Herald "Compelling, and the final truth telling is shocking" Times Literary Supplement
