Caught On Barbed Wire (2022)

Trauma comes again and again, and even when you work through it, the time comes when each calamity sees an opportunity, when some event wakes one from sleep. When an adult daughter loses her mother, losses crawl from their graves and the world is filled with a new smell and a new aroma. Nobody writes like Elisabet Jokulsdottir, and she delves beneath every stone, fondly strokes the reader’s cheek, gives the finger to old ways and continues her tireless search for love, peace and tranquillity. “When you’ve been caught up in this tragedy for forty years it feels like a crime to turn it into a comedy. It was as if I was caught up on barbed wire.”
