The Glass Woman

This was really beautiful and a really interesting story. Rósa and Jón were really well written. The issues so well presented. I feel like Lea did a really good job with the place and time. You really feel Rósa's isolation.

Part of my family is from near Stykkishólmur, and I've been there, so I loved the setting. I've also spent a lot of time in a turf house (https://www.akureyriguide.is/portfolio/laufas-heritage-site/), which, while more modernly decorated, really gives an idea of Jón's home. I could picture it, the upstairs, and the outbuildings so well.

I highly recommend the audiobook read by Heida (Heiða) Reed (Elizabeth Poldark in the recent Poldark series) and Smari Gunn - Icelandic is hard even if you kind of know it (ask my mom about trying to say eight/átta), so it helps to have Icelanders read to you.
