"The latest novel Majgull Axelsson may disappoint, but probably only those who know her previous works. The author in fact, either formally or thematically does not present anything new. With regard to form "Ice and water, and ice," characterized monumentally complex, multi-story, narrated in a number of temporary spaces, distinctive style, combining journalistic accuracy with psychological depth of well-defined characters (about women in particular this). Thematically, the Swedish writer returns reported in previous books of problems - the complex relationship between the sisters of "the April Witch" or difficulties that await in the lives of adult women deprived of maternal solicitude in childhood (one of the topics "Road to hell"). It is far from my intention to criticism of "Ice and water, water and ice," because every publication Axelsson is worth attention. can only disappoint the fact that writer follows the already well-trodden paths that the literary is not able to rise above the quality of that year created and that this time she wrote a story far less moving, although it arouses the curiosity of the place in which events begin .
