"Sixty kilograms of sunlight" - a historical novel about how at the turn of the XX century in the cold and poor Iceland came to new times. The inhabitants of a remote fjord in the north of the country for centuries have had a miserable existence in the struggle for survival: fighting blizzards and avalanches, grazing sheep and cows, going out to fish for cod and sharks, fix leaky roofs of their dugouts. It seemed impossible to get out of this life rut. But one day a shoal of herring came into the fjord, followed by Norwegian fishermen, and everything in the backwoods came into motion! This is not only a great novel about the history of the people, written picturesquely and with a sense of humor, but also a touching narrative about the fate of a boy who is looking for a way to survive in this harsh world.
