Description
Sarah Moss's Names for the Sea Strangers in Iceland is a deeply personal and evocative account of her family's experience living in Iceland during the financial crisis. From their makeshift home in Reykjavik to the remote farms and fishing villages of the far north, Moss recounts the ways in which her family adapted to their new surroundings and found new ways to live. As she travels through the rugged landscape, Moss observes the natural world around her, from the northern lights to the migratory birds that pass through the country. Her writing is both a reflection of her own experiences and a broader exploration of the human relationship with the natural world. Through her story, Moss offers a unique perspective on the challenges and rewards of living in a place of breathtaking beauty and harsh conditions.
