Lovely reception for INHERITED LAND in France and GHOST ISLAND in the US!

Maria Turtschaninoff’s award-winning INHERITED LAND has been published in France by Éditions Paulsen, and the reception has been wonderful!

“With inventiveness and finesse, the novelist analyses the evolution of  the relationships [between human and nature] without didacticism. [–] Each era is painted from the inside, bathing in its own atmosphere, the transitions from one to another taking place smoothly, without forcing or erasing anything. [–] This unforgettable portrait of Finland through the centuries is based on solid scholarship. Even if it is fiction, Maria Turtschaninoff has no equal when it comes to diving deep into the spirit of an era.”
– Elena Balzamo in Le Monde des Livres, France

“The very beautiful [Inherited Land] by the Finnish writer Maria Turtschaninoff [tells the story of] a cabin built four centuries ago by a soldier on the shores of the Gulf of Ostrobothnia, of the families that succeed one another and of a curse that awakens when the men of the family do not respect the promise made to the creatures living in the bogs. [–] An immersive reading experience guaranteed.”
– Isabelle Falconnier in Le Matin Dimanche, France

INHERITED LAND is the first adult novel by Turtschaninoff who rose to fame with her YA series Maresi. Having sold to 23 territories, INHERITED LAND has charmed readers in Finland and abroad. It is an episodic work of literary fiction depicting human relationships with nature across generations, following in the tradition of family sagas like One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez.

“An exceptional combination of hardboiled Scandi-noir and eerie ghost story. [–] Seeck marries breathtaking suspense with an expertly drawn heroine. This is guaranteed to send shivers up even the most unshakable readers’ spines.”
–Publisher’s Weekly, starred review

“Jessica Niemi is anything but ordinary, sort of a spiritual daughter of Lisbeth Salander [–] Seeck likes to play with the supernatural, which he does effectively here. [–] If you like your Scandi noir with a splash of horror, Ghost Island is a don’t-miss destination.”
—Lisa Henricksson on Air Mail
