In Julia's House. A novel by Fríðu Á. Sigurðardóttir.
This is a story about two sisters and their turbulent relationship. The book is exceptionally well-written, funny and sophisticated, and it strikes a new tone in Icelandic literary history – but above all, it addresses issues that are burning for modern women: Why do women often sacrifice themselves for others? Fríða Á. Sigurðardóttir is one of the nation's most respected writers. Her novel While the Night Passes won the Icelandic Literature Prize in 1990 and the Nordic Council Literature Prize in 1992, among other awards, and has been translated and published widely abroad. In Julia's House is Fríða's first novel in eight years; in 2000, the short story collection Summer Blues was published. (Bókatíðindi 2006).
