Her last novel is Wonderland.<p>"A magnificent, gothic tale of a doctor who imprisons his patient. Hanna Nordenhök’s new novel Caesaria, set in 19th-century Sweden, is a sharp,haunting fable about the dangers of male violence" 5-star review in The Telegraph</p>
"A novel as beautiful as it is unsettling. Hanna Nordenhök’s prose combines with singular mastery the density of poetry with the feverish atmosphere of a gothic tale." Fernanda Melchor, author of Hurricane Season and Paradis
"I was astounded by Caesaria. It's such a captivating immersive read, like falling down a rabbit hole of shifting impressions, small revelations and the unravelling of time itself. I've never read anything quite like this. Every sentence is a poem. The language is both furious and careful. The characters are grotesque and gorgeous. It's a hall of mirrors bound up in a book." Jan Carson, author of The Raptures and Quickly, While They Still Have Horses
"Nordenhök's locked up mansion is a disciplinary system of supervision and punishment, a claustrophobic spectacle where death and disaster are indisputable components in the condition of being a girl. Caesaria is simply wonderful!" Johanne Lykke Holm, author of Strega
