Away from Home. A novel by Arngunn Árnadóttir.
Coming home to Iceland after a stay in a European metropolis is like being deprived of your freedom. The comfortable but dull routine of your parents' home only reminds you of how good it was to be away from home. But it's summer, and so Unnur goes on a trip around the country with her friend and her acquaintances – a country that plays itself out to impress foreign visitors. Away from Home is a unique generational story from Iceland's tourism and post-collapse era. Arngunn Árnadóttir's thoughtful, chiseled and icy poetic style makes this novel one of the most remarkable debuts in Icelandic literature this century. (Bókatíðindi 2016).
