Progress Times! The country's oldest reading society reopens for the autumn, and Hjalti Snær is back once again with noteworthy titles and interesting authors. Booklets about this winter's programme are available at the library.
The book for December is Kristín Helga Gunnarsdóttir's book, Be Invisible.
Once, Ishmael lived in a city where there was life and bustle every day, and children played amongst mysterious knife-merchants, wild cats and master soap-makers. Now he is fourteen years old and his city is a battlefield. With his home in ruins, he is forced to flee and seek refuge where there is peace. But the escape route is life-threatening. Meanwhile, a family in Kópavogur grapples with the complex task of finding their feet in a new country.
Kristín Helga is a multi-award-winning writer who previously worked as a journalist. Be Invisible – The Flight Story of Ishmael is a novel based on interviews, news reports and sources about the Syrian Civil War, the fates of people and their destinies.
