Names For The Sea

Memoir. 2009. A novelist’s account of moving to Reykjavik with her husband and two small children, in the year the volcano erupted and in the aftermath of the financial crisis. A capturing of the wildness of the landscape and its unforgiving climate, the difficulties of being a stranger in a country whose language they do not speak and their experiences of a way of life, customs, and history they do not fully understand but learn to appreciate.
