Iceland, Christmas Eve. At this time of year, the inhabitants hardly see any white light - there is only polar night around. In Reykjavik lives the protagonist Domhild, a midwife who inherited the apartment from her grandmother, also a midwife in the past. As the Icelanders prepare for the terrible storm about to hit the island, Domhild discovers that her grandmother has left her manuscripts. In them are musings on human nature and chance. Unusual but, as always, exquisite, calibrated and as if chiseled from bone, Olafsdottir's book is about birth and death, about the most fragile and vulnerable animal, an animal born without feathers and down, fur and scales - man. "The idea came to me when I learned that apartments are quite often sold together with the property of the deceased. It turns out that the treasures we collect are of no use to anyone," the author admitted in an interview.
