I also enjoyed reading the book. Found it at the library and was tempted by the cover and title. Hope you will visit my review at Tricking of Freya: interview and review.

Thanks so much for this great review! To Jeane, who wonders if I might be exaggerating about the house of books… I experienced such a place when visiting an elderly cousin in Reykjavik. He happened to have the largest private book collection in Iceland. Even in ordinary houses, books are very prominent, though I’m sure less so now with so much Internet and television…

I didn’t know people in Iceland loved books so much- that description of the book-filled house is wonderful! Do you think the author’s exaggerating a bit, or are there houses like that in real existence? How I’d love to see one…

Sandra, Melanie, and Veens — I thought it was excellent — especially for a debut novel.

Hmm, I’ve never heard of this one! Thanks for pointing it out, because it looks fantastic. I’ll be on the lookout for it now.

Iceland intrigues me and this book sounds like a great mix of Canada and Iceland. My mom lived in Gimli for a few years when she was young. Thanks for the great review. (You know it’s great because it made me want to read it.)
