Ditt fravær er mørke by Jón Kalman Stefánsson
5.0
Another absolute masterpiece from Stefánsson. Will he ever write a book that I dislike? Probably not. I will definitely continue to purchase and read, or rather devour, every novel Stefánsson writes that gets a translation in a language I understand.
This novel made me cry several times, which is a rare event, and I loved all the characters, though Guðríður claims the spot as my favourite. Stefánsson has a true talent for writing characters that feel real while at the same time imbuing their stories with almost «magical» details.
My only complaint is that there were a few too many repetitions, that at times made the flow of the story stand still.
