6-star Review for Jonas Eika’s Open Heavens
Major Danish newspaper Kristeligt Dagblad has praised Jonas Eika’s novel Open Heavens in a six-star review:
“The world becomes a greater place in the company of Jonas Eika’s masterpiece about the Christian Beguines. […] The dream of another world, where resources and power are redistributed, forms the foundation of this brilliant and magnificent tale, that is Jonas Eika’s new novel Open Heavens. […] There is an ethereal beauty in the portrayals: a keen eye for the light, the colors, the sounds, and the materials, which are not quite of this world. The surroundings and the human beings in them are staged with such lubricity, as if the reader is there as well, and there lies a profound and multifaceted knowledge about humanity in the streak of character portraits the novel paints. Open Heavens is a unique novel in new Danish literature: deeply original, ambitious, visionary and bulging with literary abundance.”
Open Heavens was published in Denmark by Basilisk on October 24th, 2024.
