on a sentence-to-sentence level, this book was beautifully written (and translated), but I think it could have had a much bigger impact had it taken some more risks with plot and character development.

this was so good. loved the setting, time and place, but especially loved ísey. her parts were so bitingly written, I could almost see her, stirring a pot of skyr, cheeks reddening, as she told hekla about her neighbour, who's depressive episode mirrored her own. just brilliant
