The novel of the year. –MORGUNBLADID A poignant and riveting novel, without doubt one of the best books of the year...The reader cannot help being swept away by it. –MORGUNBLADID With each new book Jonsdottir's style gets better and better, and [Aftershocks] is probably her best-written novel so far. The text is literally lip-smackingly good, so that one wants to read some chapters over and over, out loud as well as to oneself. –FRETTATIMINN Outstanding work. –VIDSJA The book is entertainingly constructed and the characterisation simply wonderful. A fantastic read. –VIKAN magazine It completely captivated me. A riveting story... –MORGUNVAKTIN, National Broadcasting Service Put simply, Jonsdottir's novel deserves every bit of the praise that has been heaped upon it. –HUGRAS A complex family drama as well as a mystery novel that thoroughly develops the theme of what it's like to be unable to trust your own mind and body...A fusion of literary and plot-driven genres that is a thoroughly entertaining read and will appeal to a diverse readership. –Bokmenntir.is An ingenious way of telling a family saga...Jonsdottir is incredibly skilful at painting a complete picture of every single character...She has me totally captivated. I was completely absorbed by all of this. –Kiljan, National TV
