Stefnsson shares the elemental grandeur of Cormac McCarthy.Eileen Battersby, TLSIn a remote fishing village, a boy and his best friend spend the lonely hours on shore reading and talking about poetry. When the friend, absorbed in a borrowed copy of Paradise Lost, forgets his oilskin one morning and the crew is unexpectedly caught at sea in a savage winter storm, tragedy strikes. Overwhelmed by griefand his crewmates indifference to what has happenedthe boy leaves the village, determined to return the book to its owner. The hardship and danger of the journey is of little consequence: hes already resolved to join his friend in death. But when he reaches the town where he intends to end his days, he couldnt have imagined the stories and lives he finds.Navigating the depths of despair to celebrate the redemptive power of friendship, Heaven and Hell is an incandescent story of community, resilience, and love from one of Icelands most celebrated novelists.
