A really interesting imagining of a real-world event, this book casts a light on the complexity of human relationships as well as the limitations and challenges created by being poor and/or a woman. I'd never read a book that takes place in Iceland, so this was a nice introduction. There were multiple quite moving moments, though the 'twists' were not that surprising. Overall a solid read.

So tragic and beautifully written. Explores the complexity of life as a woman, as a worker, as a human. The power of narrative to shape our life is a strong feature.
