This book is beautiful, lyrical & rather melancholy, enjoyed isn't quite the right word for it but I really did. Poetry can kill & a book can be a heavy burden to bear, and yet might save your life as effectively as the right clothing. 5🌟 Books 2 & 3 on my #TBR now! #Iceland #FictionInTranslation 💙📚

Hopefully I'll now keep up to date, although I'm not convinced making that promise to myself on Friday 13th is wise ...
