I really enjoyed this book, short and sweet.

The first part was a bit slow going but in part two it really picked up and was thoroughly enjoyable. I wish it was longer, to have more closure to the story.

I am really enjoying the books published by Pushkin Press, happy to have discovered these books this year and so many new authors from all over the world.

I picked this up for a reading prompt but it turned out not to fit the challenge. I may come back to it.

وجدت الأسلوب رائع جدًا ومتفرد، وجاذب لمواصلة القراءة بلا ملل.
الجزء الأول كان ممتاز، لكنها بعد بداية الجزء الثاني بدأ يخفت وهجها وبدأت تقع في فخ النمطية إلى حد ما.
لكنها ككل تستحق القراءة، الترجمة جميلة للغاية، ومن الرائع أن يتاح للقارئ الوصول لأدب غير سائد نسبيًا.

I wasn’t sure what to expect but this was great and I’ll definitely pick up her other books. A great souvenir from Iceland :)
