Media Reviews
As psychologically intricate and harshly personal as his movies * San Francisco Chronicle *
One senses that this dark gem of a novel, set in resonant prose as elegant as a classical sonata, is a catharsis for Bergman * Publishers Weekly *
Presented with a stark clarity that's reminiscent of some of the most memorable images of Bergman's films... A vibrant and moving addition to what begins to look more and more like a great work in progress * Kirkus Reviews *

Bergman died in 2007.
