A Blessed Child by Linn Ullmann reviewed in New York Times

Linn Ullmann’s most recent book, A Blessed Child, was reviewed in the New York Times Sunday Book Review today! This is, of course, a great honor. Linn Ullmann is a very talented writer, improving from book to book, and I was very pleased to see her book reviewed.

New York Times writes that

Her mother is the actress Liv Ullmann and her father the writer and director Ingmar Bergman, who fathered nine children by six different women. Ullmann is the youngest of that brood: a fairy-tale position if ever there was one, the great man’s last baby, daughter of his wildly talented, gorgeous and ferociously intelligent muse. One admires Linn Ullmann — a lot — for surviving such a powerful and intoxicating legacy with such a strong artistic drive.

The review is positive and very interesting!
