Sixty Kilos of Sunshine. A novel by Hallgrímur Helgason.
A boy who is miraculously saved must have a future, but it's as if fate can't decide what that future should be. Will he be the favorite of the merchant in Fagureyri, a slave to a foreign digger, or a downtrodden among the scoundrels in Segulfjörður?
In a stagnant society of poverty, there are no more options – but then comes the herring! The country's poor see money for the first time and everything changes.
Sixty Kilos of Sunshine is about a time of great change in Icelandic history; it tells the story of when modernity sailed to a port in North Iceland and the Norwegians conquered the country for the second time. A story that both makes you cry and rejoice.
