Voices in the garden. Thor Vilhjálmsson tells the story.
In this rare, well-written book, Thor Vilhjálmsson presents his portraits of the people who are close to him, and who stood closest to him. On the one hand, of the farmers at Brettingsstaðir in Flateyjardalur, where the heroic struggle for survival of everyday Icelandic life was fought; on the other hand, of the descendants of Thor Jensen who stood in the glow of power and wealth in the growing capital. Thor speaks of his relatives and parents, siblings and fellow travelers, plainly and poetically, warmly and yet with clear vision. He has rarely succeeded better.
