Publisher's Summary
En esta exquisite novela, el autor islandes Olafur Olafsson cuenta la conmovedora historia de una mujer que emprende un singular viaje emocional hacia el pasado. Durante anos, Disa y su companero Anthony han administrado, con placer y sosiego, una casa de huespedes en la campina inglesa. Cuando Disa se entera de que le quedan pocos meses de vida, decide volver a su pueblo natal en Islandia. Con maestria y sensibilidad, Olafsson conduce al lector por este dificil y heroico viaje. Poco a poco, van surgiendo los recuerdos que tanto costaron a Disa olvidar: los enfrentamientos con su madre, la muerte de su joven prometido en manos de los Nazis, la mansion donde se refugio ¿ y trabajo como cocinera ¿ germen de la violencia sexual y politica. Historias que han dejado huellas.
Camino a Casa es un enriquecedor y enternecedor retrato de una mujer hecho por un escritor exceptional.
Constructed in tight succinct fragments, like journal entries, The Journey Home shuttles between past and present. In the lush British farm country, Disa runs a small inn with her friend Anthony. They're both elderly eccentrics who understand each other too well. Now terminally ill, Disa must reckon with grief and difficult memories in the face of her impending death.
