From New York Review Books

Rock Crystal Stifter's rapturous and enigmatic tale of village life begins with a small anecdote—one Christmas eve, a brother and sister lose their way amid snowdrifts while crossing the Alps—and opens onto vast questions of faith and destiny. "[Stifter was] one of the most strangely gripping narrators in world literature."—Thomas Mann
