Un romanzo di who you are inside, the charm and subtly exotic and truly unique because it gives you to think, leaves a trace of anxiety and many questions open. In a small town a few kilometers from Reykjavik in the early fifties, the Agga orphan living with his grandparents, an aunt and two young aunts. Life in the crowded house is complicated with the arrival of a cousin returning from the United States, where it disappeared seven years earlier, seventeen, after marrying a U.S. military stationed in the island. Now widowed, returns home with trunks full of clothes and sweets, but no place to go if not the house of his uncles. It is very tall, very thin, very beautiful, her eyes are too light and spreads around him il gelo. Agga prova subito repulsione e sospetto per quella donna troppo bella e troppo strana, dai capelli così lunghi e folti che quando li lava deve appendere le ciocche bagnate al soffitto perché non ne sopporta il peso. Freyja è un formidabile personaggio, pieno di misteri, che vediamo solo attraverso gli occhi di Agga, testimone poco oggettiva delle intricate vicende sentimentali vissute dalle giovani donne che la circondano. Agga vive tutte le contraddizioni del momento particolarissimo che separa l’infanzia dall’adolescenza, l’insicurezza e la rabbia, lo stupore nell’assistere ai cambiamenti del proprio corpo, il rancore verso gli adulti, la curiosità e l’impossibilità di capirli. Mi did think to contrast two literary thirteen I met recently on the novel by Silvia Avalos Steel so far-fetched in their self-awareness. Agga is real, alive, very determined not to miss a word or an act of what happens in the adult world, moral and safe handling of their court as only children can be. While Freyja proceeds without hesitation to its aims and generous with ruthless, seduces and repels, always ready to help people which is tied up and cruelly revenge on those who hinders, Agga spy, action, stuffs himself with anti, insinuates itself everywhere, unable to attend as the most dramatic moments and secrets of each other, grow Magnús his friendship with the cop, and the last, brilliant lines perhaps completely abandoned children. And the reader is left to wonder if what he read so far has been a volunteer deception, a prospective trap that forces him to rethink the whole story. moves around all the society of the town, offering a portrait full of surprises in Iceland in mid-twentieth century, shortly after independence from Denmark. There is rationing, food shortages, the work is missing, conservatives and Democrats alternated in government, but the problems remain. The room is small but not bigoted or backward, the association rule, there is a support network for those in financial difficulties, social life is lively, despite the harsh weather and hard, like the outdoors at all, you can walk and skate, is celebrated in the streets, you come out of evening and night. The characters move around Freyja and Agga are delineated with great vividness, but soberly, this is a novel in which there is no space for frills or descriptive psychology. Life is hard but they all give a lot of trouble, even Agga, just finished the averages, there is an afternoon's work, while still attending high school in the morning. But the mocking conclusion seems to be saying that rather than the harsh climate, the struggle for land meet and to feed their children, social and political contrasts, the real war is between the sexes, and to win it all means is allowed. The translation is brilliant and sensitive Silvia Cosimini.
