- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
3.5
based in Reykjavik in 1918, a very short but impactful novel centered on the ways we try to make ourselves disappear when we are rejected, when we are left to find our own sense of love because none exists for us, when we are not only facing the difficulties of our personal lives but also facing the impact of societal issues and we need an escape because we cannot face this reality
this was my pick for the Iceland prompt in the @storygraph reads the world challenge 🌎
