Description
The book you are currently holding presents a mosaic of stories that together create a vivid picture of Iceland, which has become a popular tourist destination in recent years. The author has been living in a fishing village there for several years, working, writing, and maintaining close, daily contact with the local residents. She is not a tourist, but she is not one of them either. Her perspective manages to delve beneath the surface, and alongside personal experiences of life in the Icelandic countryside, she reveals to readers the mentality of ordinary Icelanders and describes countless natural phenomena and sceneries of this mysterious island. It offers a unique opportunity to discover what life is like in a country on the very edge of the Arctic Circle, where for part of the year the sun does not set at all, for another part it does not rise, and at other times it cannot penetrate through a snowstorm.
