La nonna a 1000° by Hallgrímur Helgason
4.0
3.5 stars. It took me an eternity to finish this book, but it was worth it. It's raw, unpleasant, sarcastic, unapologetic, rude and absolutely not politically correct. At some points, I didn't want to pick up the book for weeks, however at the end for me, it was worth it.
I understood a bit more about Iceland and how it changed in the last century, I followed the perilous life of an imaginary old woman and got lost in some deep thoughts every now and then. This book is not and will never be everybody's cup of tea, but it is worth trying.
