Uncontrolled Luck. A novel by Auður Jónsdóttir.
Almost twelve years have passed since Didda moved with her mother to a small fishing village in the country. Now she has a permanent place on the flow line in the freezer, and the mothers have become part of the unique human life of the small town where Valdi popp, Júlla jú jú, Gudda ameríska and Sveinn spariskór walk the streets. But there is also Radek the Czech with his brides who brings to life her daydreams of another life in another place.

With warmth and sensitivity, she paints memorable pictures of people, their triumphs and sorrows, joys and adversity, with the delicate relationship between mothers at the forefront.
