“Ramslie’s prose is restrained, calm and beautiful: His sentences are like little planets revolving around a black hole, pulling the reader in, towards darkness, slowly, page by page. Reading Ramslie is like holding a water balloon in your hands, waiting for it burst by itself: He keeps kneading the story, like a piece of dough that carefully rises … who is Ramslie writing for? Who will read him? Anyone who likes good, innovative literature”

“Only with the second book of Lars Ramslie’s Little Bird series it becomes obvious what a violent journey he has embarked on … This distance and proximity to the adult world – Maya understands the premises of this world, but cannot act according to them – is written with such precision that even the most cynical reader will be moved … Ramslie exposes the soreness of a sibling relationship in a way that is almost unbearable. As in the previous book, the reader is impressed with the how the author can write in such a distinct and yet so casual, everyday tone … a rich, sensuous depiction of a young girl”
