Fragment. A novel by Ármann Jakobsson.
A young journalist in Reykjavík is tasked with documenting the life of Herdís Pálsdóttir, a physician, member of the Icelandic parliament, and businesswoman, after her death, and finding out why she bequeathed her house and a large share in a successful family business to an unrelated foreigner.
The truth about Herdís is not easy to find, but the search sparks thoughts about the circumstances into which each person is born and their potential to shape their own lives. At the same time, the relationship between researcher and subject becomes increasingly complex, and the question is no longer just who Herdís was, but also how the biographer can fulfill his or her responsibilities to her.
