Books Editor (673 KP) shared own list

Oct 12, 2017
Never in history have so many diverse books from the Nordic nations been translated, and in the last five years in the UK and the USA the list has been growing.

There should be something here for every boreal-minded reader to cherish in the coming winter.

As a year-long festival celebrating the region’s writers gets under way in the UK, Icelandic novelist Sjón selects essential reading from the far north.

I urge you to read this book
As an avid book reader I like to sign up to things where you can get free books and this was one of them. To say I was hooked from the beginning would be a small understatement.

It is rich in detail and has diverse characters who inspire both love and fierce hate from the reader. There is definitely a win for the underdog and the nerd in me rejoiced.


It is a series of books which I still being written and I urge you to give it a go.
