Iceland

History. A Mess. written by Sigrun Palsdottir and translated in to English by Lytton Smith.

A novel that feels like it deserves a research project, not a linear, easy read but provocative and engaging.The publishing blurb intruded a bit on my natural dissemination of the story. Concepts that could have slowly unraveled as I attended to the book were presented on the back of the cover and perhaps I would have enjoyed the mess a little more if the discovery had happened organically.
