Woman at 1,000 Degrees by Hallgrímur Helgason

4.0

An enjoyable yarn with quirky lyrical prose and a story that spans the continents and major historical events of the last 100 or so years. The books falls down from a male gaze writing that sees the main character relate to men in a sexual context or as a mother/daughter. A woman that’d experienced all this would have a much more insightful and intelligent outlook on life and people she interacts with and that was missing for me.
