A review by asmyr42
Woman at 1,000 Degrees by Hallgrímur Helgason

5.0

By turns deliciously absurd and searingly honest, this first person telling of an Icelandic girl and woman making her way through the world grabbed me by the throat and commanded my attention. Sometimes I laughed out loud. Sometimes certain fluids leaked from my eyes. This is my second rendezvous with this author, and I am further drawn into his orbit.
