Publisher Description
En esta exquisita novela, el autor islandes Olafur Olafsson cuenta la conmovedora historia de una mujer que emprende un singular viaje emocional hacia el pasado. Durante anos, Disa y su companero Anthony han administrado, con placer y sosiego, una casa de huespedes en la campina inglesa. Cuando Disa se entera de que le quedan pocos meses de vida, decide volver a su pueblo natal en Islandia. Con maestria y sensibilidad, Olafsson conduce al lector por este dificil y heroico viaje. Poco a poco, van surgiendo los recuerdos que tanto costaron a Disa olvidar: los enfrentamientos con su madre, la muerte de su joven prometido en manos de los nazis, la mansion donde se refugio- -y trabajo como cocinera-, germen de la violencia sexual y politica. Historias que han dejado huellas.
