Miss Iceland by Auður Ava Ólafsdóttir

5.0

This philosophical and lyrical masterpiece follows Hekla as she moves to Reykjavík to become an author in the 1960s. The story explores how sexism and homophobia limits the opportunities people have, with a truly shocking ending that implies maybe it is impossible to truly escape the status quo. I highly recommend as a story which will leave you pondering over it days after you finished reading it.
