The Journey Home by Olafur Johann Olafsson

Fiction
This book is a well written and moving story about a woman in the latter years of her life returning to the home of her youth in Iceland, having been away since she was a young woman. The story of her life is primarily revealed in flashbacks as she writes in her journal during her travel from her home in England back to Iceland. It is a moving and sensitively told story that genuinely reflects the female mind and perspective. This is especially wonderful and surprising, given that is it written by a male author.
