The Fires Zusammenfassung

The Fires: A Novel Sigridur Hagalin Bjoernsdottir

From Icelandic author Sigridur Hagalin Bjoernsdottir comes a heart-wrenching thriller about a woman's desperate quest to save the people she loves from a natural disaster. After an eight-hundred-year slumber, the volcanoes in Iceland's most populated region are showing signs of life. Earthquakes dominate the headlines. Echoes of the devastating eruptions in the past stir unease in the people. Volcanologist Anna Arnardottir has spent her entire life studying the volcanic powers under the earth's crust, but even she cannot fathom the catastrophe at hand. As a series of eruptions threaten most of Iceland's population, she's caught off her rational guard by the most terrible natural disaster of all-love. The world as she knows it is about to fall apart, and so is her heart. Caught between the safety of a nation and her feelings for her children, her lover, and her past, Anna embarks on a dangerous journey to save the lives of the people she loves-and her soul.

The Fires Bewertungen

This fiercely wrought thriller from Bjoernsdottir perfectly balances science and psychology...Bjoernsdottir smoothly integrates geological and historical information about Iceland's volcanos into the action. This explosive tale of adulterous passion is not just for Scandi noir fans. -Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) [Sigridur Hagalin Bjoernsdottir] weaves together the hearts of men and the hearts of the earth and the magma of the earth and does it so wonderfully. The Fires is a huge success. Such a profound, well-thought-out, romantic thriller. -Kiljan, Iceland's foremost literary TV program A shocking love story as well as an existential speculation about the role of the mother, but first and foremost it is an extremely accomplished thriller. -Vidsja The Fires is a thriller, a love story, and a tragedy. It is absolutely fantastic, though one cannot help but hope that Reykjanes will not start to shake and tremble with as much force as in the book...The Fires is a must read. Except maybe for those who are very terrified of earthquakes. -Morgunbladid (5 stars)
