On the Cold Coasts - A Novel (2000)

“...Vilborg has written a praiseworthy novel. It is carefully constructed, the use of language believable. Vilborg has great insight into her characters and often manages to describe a lot using simple language which is a great quality and shows understanding and self-discipline. ... her story is very well written and is the best novel she has written to this day.”

“The main emphasis is on suspense and on keeping the reader hooked from beginning to end... Although this is a love-story and thriller, the narrative style is restrained, with the good guys being not completely good nor the crooks completely bad; in fact it is not always easy for the reader to pin down the motives of the characters in the story. Without over-emphasizing the trials and tribulations of 15th century folk, Vilborg still contrives to paint a picture of hardship and suspense. The dénouement is convincing and, what is more, leaves open the door to a sequel; there is no doubt that there will be more from Vilborg in this vein.”
