La mejor escritora nórdica actual, con más de diez premios literarios y un millón de lectores, regresa con «una novela deliciosa y pícara sobre el sentido de la existencia» (Elle)

Descendiente de un linaje de matronas, Dýja es también eso que en Islandia llaman «madre de la luz». Sus padres dirigen una funeraria, su hermana es meteoróloga: nacer, morir y, entremedias, superar unas cuantas tormentas. En plena amenaza de huracán, Dýja ayuda a traer al mundo a su bebé número 1922. Está tratando de arreglar el apartamento que ha heredado de su tía abuela, abarrotado de muebles, bombillas que parpadean y una caja de fruta llena de manuscritos: la tía Fífa continuó la labor que había comenzado la bisabuela de entrelazar los relatos de las antiguas comadronas que recorrían los páramos del país en plena ventisca con sus propias reflexiones excéntricas y visionarias sobre el planeta, la vida... y la luz.

Mientras, en el ático, un turista australiano parece haber viajado hasta las antípodas para hacer balance de su vida. El ser humano es, definitivamente, el animal más vulnerable sobre la Tierra, y el delgado hilo que nos une a la vida es tan frágil como una aurora boreal.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

From winner of the Nordic Council Literature Prize and the Icelandic Literature Prize, Auður Ava Ólafsdóttir, comes a dazzling novel about a family of midwives set in the run-up to Christmas in Iceland

In the days leading up to Christmas, Dómhildur delivers her 1,922nd baby. Beginnings and endings are her family trade; she comes from a long line of midwives on her mother's side and a long line of undertakers on her father's. She even lives in the apartment that she inherited from her grandaunt, a midwife with a unique reputation for her unconventional methods.

As a terrible storm races towards Reykjavik, Dómhildur discovers decades worth of letters and manuscripts hidden amongst her grandaunt's clutter. Fielding calls from her anxious meteorologist sister and visits from her curious new neighbour, Dómhildur escapes into her grandaunt's archive and discovers strange and beautiful reflections on birth, death and human nature.

With her singular warmth and humor, in Animal Life Ólafsdóttir gives us a beguiling novel that comes direct from the depths of an Icelandic winter, full of hope for spring.

Great quality, better than a rental.
Size: 4X-Large, Color: Navy Blue, Size: 4X-Large, Color: Navy Blue
This suit was a pleasant surprise in quality! Just note, sizing isn’t perfect since it’s a set, so the pants were really long and the waist slightly bigger than my husband’s actual size, as we had to fit for his chest and shoulders. However, we were able to hem the pants quite easily and he just wore a belt which worked perfectly. For the price and quality you receive, well worth it. We ended up using a different tie than given so it would match my dress. Worth every cent even if worn once since rentals are way more expense. This held up for a full 8hrs of schmoozing and dancing and is still in great shape.
