It’s inevitable, I’m afraid, to make a comparison with the immensely massive and rich “The Orphan’s tales” which I read earlier this year, and “Namnbrunnen “ comes up very short. Most of these tales are engaging enough, but seldom feel completely fresh. Edelfeldt, like Valente, plays with a multitude of tropes and mythologies, but where Valente’s mixture left me stunned and full of images, Edelfeldt mostly feels like she’s alluding.
