A Promise of Security. A novel by Auður Jónsdóttir.
Gísella Dal lives the perfect life. She lives in a large apartment, frequents the finest beauty salons, drinks fine wine and eats exotic food, in between writing the occasional magazine article, mostly for fun. But one day Gísella receives news that her grandmother's rich inheritance has run out and that she may have to sacrifice her entire lifestyle and start working for herself. Until she decides to get tenants...
Tryggðarpantur describes the coexistence of four women in a city full of people, natives and newcomers. It is a haunting and tearful story that juxtaposes different worlds and raises questions about life values, outlooks on life – and the illusion of life.
Auður Jónsdóttir won the Icelandic Literature Prize in 2005 for her novel, The People in the Basement, which was acclaimed by both critics and readers and became a bestseller. It was also nominated for the Nordic Council Literature Prize and received rave reviews when it was published in Denmark.
Tryggðarpantur was nominated for the Icelandic Literature Prize.
