A lyrical, moving tale of love, loss and belonging, across three generations of a Faroe Islands family

Death brings the young woman back to the Faroes, the windswept rocky islands of the north where she has never lived but which she has always called home. There she finds her stories entwining with those of her ancestors as she searches for a way to connect with Faroese culture. But is "home" just a place name, or something more?

Island is a literary tale of exile and homecoming, split across three generations of a Faroe islands family, strongly inspired by the author's own family history. It is a beautiful story of emigration and immigration, and of what it means to belong.

Recenzijas

A sensitive meditation on belonging. --Kirkus Reviews

"One of the most special books Ive read in years. Absolutely gorgeous and intimate. It took me away" -- Jami Attenberg, author of The Middlesteins

"Island talks about places as if they were people, of fjords as if they were the wrinkles of our souls." -- Valeria Parrella, Grazia

"Prose that is as deep as the sea surrounding everything." -- Corriere della Sera

"An ode to the legends we still need." -- La Repubblica

"Dense and evocative, and manages to combine organic and lifeless matter with the fantastic." -- Wired.it
