Reseña del editor
'Olafsdottir's specialty is the small journeys we take to save ourselves and the ones we care for. She is the heart's finest map-maker' Sjon Winner of the Icelandic Literature Prize< Jonas feels like his life is over. His wife has left him, his mother is slipping deeper into dementia, and his daughter is no longer who he thought. So he comes up with a foolproof plan: to buy a one-way ticket to a chaotic,war-ravaged country and put an end to it all. But on arriving at Hotel Silence, he finds his plans - and his anonymity - begin to dissolve under the foreign sun. Now there are other things that need his attention, like the crumbling hotel itself, the staff who run it, and his unusual fellow guests. And soon it becomes clear that Jonas must decide whether he really wants to leave it all behind; or give life a second chance, albeit down a most unexpected path...

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Jonas is starting to feel that life hasn't worked out the way he thought it would. Divorced and lonely, with nothing much to live for, he decides to buy a one-way ticket somewhere, anywhere, with no intention of coming back.When he arrives at the strangely deserted airport, in the barren holiday resort (the cheapest last-minute deal he could find), and ends up on the doorstep of Hotel Silence, which has definitely seen better days, it seems the ideal place to put an end to it all. There isn't any dinner, the plumbing barely works, and the hotel staff seem somewhat distracted.But as his relationship with May and her small son Adam grows into friendship, and he begins to understand the traumatic story of this war-torn country, Jonas discovers reasons to carry on. The pipes could do with tightening up, the plugs need rewiring, the window frames are in desperate need of a lick of paint.This is a story about discovering perspective, working out how to carry on when life goes awry, and how to find happiness, and love, in the most difficult circumstances. A funny, wistful and utterly beguiling novel about a man whose life is falling apart, and how he learns to put it back together Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
