Moonstone: The Boy Who Never Was by Sjón

3.0

Sjón writes so eloquently, so effortlessly, that you can't help but be carried away. But I'm afraid that this story just didn't do it as much for me. It is a lovely encapsulation of a period of time in Icelandic history, but seems like it would be more interesting for the personal connection of the author or for people interested in modern Icelandic history than it is just for the story itself. Still, it's nevertheless quite compelling and would still make for a worthwhile read.
