Holder Lazness was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1955
Laxness describes the popular reaction to an attempt by the U.S. to buy land for a nuclear base near Reykjavik. Rich, lyrical prose, all expertly interpreted in the translation. Among the many vivid characters, the narrator stands out: her wit, pride, and simplicity bring to mind heroines like Jane Eyre.--Booklist
