House to House (1997)

Kolfinna has just moved back to her mother’s at the end of a hapless cohabitation, and finds nothing better to do than to fill in for a pregnant friend as a house cleaner, insinuating herself into homes of varying degrees of cleanliness in one of Reykjavik’s residential neighbourhoods. The job is an undeniable eye-opener, as she moves from house to house, poking into other people’s personal belongings. She slowly recovers her appetite for life again and gets drawn into some bizarre situations. An artfully crafted and exciting novel about a rebellion against mediocrity and the endless quest for love and happiness.
