Not only listening to Icelandic music but reading Icelandic literature as well. This is one of most beautiful tales I‘ve ever read. Sjón uses the image of the blue fox to redeem the one protagonist who shouldn‘t be redeemed. The language is so beautiful, I can‘t cope. After this one I even fell more in love with Iceland.

Aimeesue I read that one, but in English. It was very good. Probably loses something in. Translation, though 6y
MariaW @Aimeesue I guess so, but it still was beautiful. I‘m not sure if I will be able to learn some Icelandic some time soon. 😊 6y
Aimeesue It was indeed a beautiful book! 6y

The last light of the day was DAWNING OFF at the horizon. (...) Nothern Light‘s daughters set themselves for their wild dance of the veils.

Gosh, I really love Icelandic literature. ?❤️?#untranslatable

Though I liked the writing style in this novella set in Iceland, the complete lack of character development made it fall flat.
