Reviews for Midwinterblood
This is a novel that demands to be read more than once because it is only at the conclusion of the seven interlinked episodic stories that the complexity of the novel's extraordinary story of doomed love becomes clear... Sedgwick is a fine writer and this hugely atmospheric and demanding book will satisfy adults too.
Sally Morris, THE DAILY MAIL
The Time Traveler's Wife meets Lost in this chilling exploration of love and memory.
KIRKUS REVIEWS
It is something of a cliche for a reviewer to claim he devoured a book in a single sitting, and I have to admit that is not the case here. I began Midwinterblood late one evening in bed, dreamed about it through the night and finished it early the next morning.
THE NEW YORK TIMES
Midwinterblood contains much that is riveting, strange and darkly enchanting. I read it in a single feverish sitting, late one evening, and drifted to sleep haunted by its vision of love and fate and history.
