Names for the Sea: Strangers in Iceland - Sarah Moss (Paperback) 04-07-2013 Short-listed for THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF LITERATURE ONDAATJE PRIZE 2013 (UK).

At the height of the financial crisis in 2009, Sarah Moss and her husband moved with their two small children to Iceland. From their makeshift home among the half-finished skyscrapers of Reykjavik, Moss travels to hillsides of boiling mud and volcanic craters, and the remote farms and fishing villages of the far north. She watches the northern lights and the comings and goings of migratory birds, and as the weeks and months go by, she and her family find new ways to live.
