Sixty Kilos of Sunshine is a historical novel about the dawn of a new era in cold and impoverished Iceland at the turn of the 20th century. For centuries, the inhabitants of a remote fjord in the north of the country eked out a miserable existence, struggling to survive: battling blizzards and avalanches, herding sheep and cows, fishing for cod and sharks, and repairing the leaky roofs of their dugouts. It seemed impossible to escape this rut. But one day, a school of herring entered the fjord, followed by Norwegian fishermen, and everything in this remote place was set in motion! This is not only a grand novel about the history of this people, written vividly and with a sense of humor, but also a touching story about the fate of a boy searching for a way to survive in this harsh world.
