A unique travel book about Iceland, written by a local. What was it like growing up in the South of Iceland in the '80s? What is a rural Icelandic community like? Why is modern Icelandic society the way it is? Ingibjörg Rósa is an Icelandic journalist who observes her own people in a critical and often humorous tone, reminiscing about her sweet childhood days, trying to explain to the outside world what has shaped this nation in the North.
It is also a helpful guide for anyone about to visit Iceland, explaining why you shouldn't spit in the dark, try and help the poor, sick birds or what to expect when visiting the public swimming pools.
