The progress book of the month is A Common Ground in Existence by Málfríður Einarsdóttir, written in 1977. This book is not a biography, nor hardly a memoir in the usual sense, but the author evokes in the reader's mind this common ground she had in her life, whether it was in Bæjarsveit in Borgarfjörður, Reykjavík, Copenhagen or elsewhere. The environment, national life and people are described here with vivid immediacy and a stylistic flair possessed by few.
