One of the most richly entertaining novels I've read for years

A beautifully written, witty and often poignant account of a brave woman's attempt to come to terms with her situation and recover her spirits

What makes her book so considerable an achievement is the mature, informed accuracy of its view of life. What makes it so exhilarating is the profusion of tough wit and precise poetry that everywhere transforms its black bulletins from documentary into art

The only way to describe my response to Bodily Harm is to say that it knocked me out... She tosses off perfect scenes with a casualness that leaves you utterly inprepared for the way these stories seize you

Atwood's vivid prose, tough wit and acute insight turn a scenario that would suit a beach-read thriller into a complex and compelling novel

A master of detective fiction

If you like your YA witch stories with a difference then I suggest picking up a copy The Circle... [I'm]excited for the next one.

The most interesting book to come out of Sweden this year, and it’s not another crime thriller!

[I] enjoyed it so much I can thoroughly recommend this quite superb tale, and urge all to go out and order a copy today. I can’t wait for the second installment.

This was definitely a brilliant book, that is well worth taking the time to invest in and read.

Tense and full of dramatic twists and turns, I look forward to seeing what is next for the witches in part two which is called Fire

Witches are the new black. This is the first in a best-selling Swedish trilogy and it's one you will not want to miss out on... An epic holiday read, it's got a fantastical, interwoven narrative that is just what you need to take you all the from the airport departure lounge to a shady spot beside the pool.

This book was one of those that I just couldn’t put down, and despite its size I found it to be a really quick read. The characters were all so different and yet still fit together in their own way, and I was truly shocked by some of the events. I loved the fact that the book wasn’t too teenage despite taking place in a high school, as the characters have genuine problems to overcome with each trying to find their own way to cope with their powers. A great read, I’m really looking forward to book two!
