Description: "An emotionally nuanced study in morality, which draws its suspense from love, choices, and the mark that everyone leaves on the world." -- Helsingin Sanomat - Finland newspaper "An exceptionally fine debut novel in which all elements come together in a controlled and well-considered manner. At the same time, the novel is fascinating and addictive." -- Turun Sanomat - Finland newspaper "Where Itranta shines is in her rejection of conventional plots and in her understated but compelling characters. The work is a deceptively tranquil examination of a world of dust and ashes where the tenacious weed of hope still survives." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "The writing is gorgeous and delicate in this dystopian award-winning debut, which is unique in both its setting and the small scale that Finnish author Itranta employs." -- Library Journal (starred review) on Memory of Water "Itranta's lyrical style makes this dystopian tale a beautiful exploration of environmental ethics and the power of ritual." -- Washington Post Book World on MEMORY OF WATER "[Memory of Water] is simultaneously a coming-of-age story, a fantastic adventure, and a bold warning about a future that is all too real." -- Portland Book Review on MEMORY OF WATER
