A review by mweis
Summer Light, and Then Comes the Night by Jón Kalman Stefánsson
3.0
*I received an eARC via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.*
I have mixed feelings about this story. The writing was beautiful and lyrical, but I think I was expecting more plot, or any plot really, and my enjoyment suffered because of it.
The story tells of a small town in rural Iceland and weaves among the villagers of this town as they go about their lives. And that's it. Each character was incredibly unique and I liked the way the author built them until the village itself felt like a main character, but I would have preferred if it was building to something.
