The Girl Who Died by Ragnar Jónasson
5.0
Iceland at the end of the summer. You can feel the cold just thinking about it but Ragnar Jonasson brings a sharpness to the Icelandic coast, it’s bleakness and remoteness away from the big cities and towns. Most of the time I felt an intense claustrophobia reading this story. All eyes are on our lead female character. Everyone knows everyone and their business in Skalar except as a newcomer Una is definitely not included. A community of 10 means you can’t go far before someone notices you. You can pick up a reputation very quickly too. So it is just as easy to be completely isolated.
A good slow burning read that delivers us shocking stuff for our long way from home, not to mention from civilisation generally, Una, teaching just two pupils.
Would highly recommend.
