Magma by Thora Hjörleifsdóttir
Did not finish book. Stopped at 43%.
I read the first 69 and last 20 pages and quite honestly a book has never disgusted me as much as this one. I understand the authors aim, but I am still quite frankly, horrified and reeling. Read the last few pages to see if it would get better and it in fact got so ,Ucd worse. I feel quite justified in giving it up.
I have no idea how this got onto the Dublin Literary Award long list, but I hope it doesn’t make the short list because if it does, it’s incredibly suspicious.
