Telegraph ****

The nature and possibility of immortality is a recurring theme, and digressions abound — communicating trees, broken families, Chernobyl, death, etc. But by sticking close to his characters, Knausgaard addresses those heady topics with<b> an easy-going grace</b>

LA Times

<b>Compulsively readable...</b>Knausgaard remains one of the great chroniclers of the moment-by-moment experience of life

Washington Post

<b>An intelligent, expansive novel</b>

i

<b>Immersive… It is so engrossing and entertaining </b>that I crammed in its 800 pages like a glutton devouring a box of chocolates

Spectator

<b>Knausgaard, master of fiction</b> as an inquiry into the self, now revives fiction as an inquiry into the cosmos, re-enchanting the latter with those <b>beguiling </b>secrets science had stolen from it

Guardian

<b>I read <i>The Morning Star</i> compulsively, and stayed awake all night after finishing it</b>.

- Brandon Taylor,

The future is no more, and eternity has begun.It's 1986 and a nuclear reactor has exploded in Chernobyl. Syvert Løyning returns home from military service to live with his mother and brother on the outskirts of a town in Southern Norway. One night, he dreams of his late father, and can't shake him from his mind. Searching through his father's belongings for clues and connections, he finds a cache of letters that lead to the Soviet Union.In present-day Russia, Alevtina is trying to balance work and family. She has always sought the answers to life's big questions, but is preoccupied with care of her young son. Her friend Vasilisa offers some nourishment: she is writing a book about an ancient feature of Russian culture, the belief in eternal life. Meantime, Alevtina is heading towards a meeting that will redraw the contours of her world.A searching and humane novel, The Wolves of Eternity is an intimate journey into the experiences of a half-brother and half-sister in their two different - yet deeply connected - lives. The second novel in Karl Ove Knausgaard's extraordinary new series, it expands the universe of The Morning Star in the decades before the blazing and mysterious star descends.PRAISE FOR KARL OVE KNAUSGAARD:'Knausgaard, master of fiction as an inquiry into the self, now revives fiction as an inquiry into the cosmos'' Guardian'Enormously compelling… The range of subjects The Wolves of Eternity explores is fascinating' Sunday Times'Compelling' Daily Telegraph ****'Knausgaard is among the finest writers alive' New York Times
