| General note | A new translation of Nobel Prize-winning author Halldór Laxness's masterpiece<br/><br/>Late one snowy midwinter night, in a remote Icelandic fishing village, a penniless woman arrives by boat. She comes with her daughter, the young but gutsy Salka Valka. The two must forge a life in this remote place, where everyone is at the mercy of a single wealthy merchant, and where everything revolves around fish.<br/><br/>After her mother's tragic death, Salka grows into a fiercely independent-minded adult - cutting off her hair, educating herself and becoming an advocate for the town's working class. A coming-of-age story, a feminist tale, a lament for Iceland's poor - this is the funny, tender, epic story of Salka Valka.<br/><br/>'Laxness is a poet who writes to the edges of the pages, a visionary who allows us a plot' Daily Telegraph<br/><br/>Translated from Icelandic by Philip Roughton. |
