Notes

General Note
"Previously published as Elín, ýmislegt by Forlagid ... in Iceland in 2017"--Copyright page.
Description
"Elín Jónsdóttir lives an isolated existence in Reykjavík, Iceland, making props and prosthetics for theatrical productions and Nordic crime flicks. In her early seventies, she has recently become fascinated with another loner, Ellen Álfsdóttir, a sensitive young playwright and illegitimate daughter of a famous writer. The girl has aroused maternal feelings in Elín, but she has also stirred discomfiting memories long packed away. Because their paths have crossed before. One doesn't remember. The other is about to forget."--Provided by publisher.
Language
In English, translated from the Icelandic.
