Descripción
It topped the bestseller list in Iceland. The winner of many literature prizes, Vigdís Grímsdóttir most recently has been nominated for the Icelandic Literary Prize.
Two sisters, Anna and Arnþrúdur, seek to understand themselves, each other, their lives and their relationships with their lovers - with Valgeir, semi-detached from his wife, and with Z, the journalist named for the flash of lightning that attended her birth. Approaching death casts issues of independence and commitment into sharp focus as the women's contemplation achieves a blistering and loving honesty.
