<p>Gråbøl’s eye is unsparing and convincing, her prose vivid and alive.</p>

Kirkus Reviews

<p>Weaves an intricate picture of a life lived under rules and restraint by creating a text that is simultaneously demure and porous.</p>

Vulture

<p>Utterly original in its poetical precision. Clinically clear with restrained panic.</p>

Information

<p>Poetic and well-composed debut novel that critically takes on the way we view mental illness . . . There is a lot here that one could think about and discuss.</p>

Litteratursiden

Fine Gråbøl’s narrator dreams of furniture flickering to life. A chair that greets you, shiny tiles that follow a peculiar grammar, or a bookshelf that can be thrown on like an apron.Obsessed with the way items rise up out of their thingness, assuming personalities and private motives, the nameless narrator lives in a temporary psychiatric care unit for young people in Copenhagen. This is a place where you ‘wake up and realise that what’s going to happen has no name’, and days are spent practicing routines that take on the urgency of survival – peeling a carrot, drinking prune juice, listening through thin walls.In prose that demands that you slow down, expertly translated by Martin Aitken, What Kingdom charts a wisdom of its own.

It has been a privilege to read this extraordinary work. The unnamed narrator’s absolute vulnerability is transformed into compelling beauty by the authority and precision of her language.
