Haldór Laxness was a Nobel Laureate and his writing is beautiful, bleak, and breathtaking as his Native Iceland. In this book, the USA wants to buy out a part of Rekjavík to build an Atom Station against the wishes of the people. The story is touching and funny and features a young woman protagonist from the north who goes to live as a housemaid in her MPs household and wants to learn to play the harmonium, and leads her to meet all sorts of interesting characters.
