Quotes by Lilja Sigurðardóttir (?)

“At that moment Grímur decided that sixteen years would not be sufficient. Sixteen years and out in ten was not a high enough price to pay for all those black eyes, for the wails and the tears and the desperation that seeped down to him through the floor. It wasn’t enough for beating her to death, crushing the battered body into a suitcase and dumping it like garbage out in the lava field.”

“Iceland would never be much more than a remote outpost.”
― Lilja Sigurðardóttir, Snare
