The Sacrament. A novel by Ólafur Jóhann Ólafsson.
A student at Landakotsskóli witnesses the death of the school principal, Reverend Ágúst Frans, from the tower of Christ Church. Two decades later, the boy wants to meet the nun who, in the run-up to this event, was brought in to investigate the principal's behavior towards the students.
Her encounter with Iceland and Icelanders turned her life upside down, and she still thinks about the snow around the black church and the schoolhouse next to the church and the body in the snow. The Sacrament is a magnificent novel about guilt and innocence, love and regret, cover-up and secrecy, power – and our smallest brothers.
Here Ólafur Jóhann Ólafsson shows all his best sides: the story keeps the reader captivated, the characters are vivid and the subject matter is moving. He has received numerous awards for his books, both at home and abroad, including the Icelandic Literary Prize and the O. Henry Award in the United States.
