It is the captivating story of a free spirit and a borrowed child, during a winter journey around Iceland. In the gloomy month of November, the narrator's husband abandons her without warning, and her best friend entrusts her with the care of her four-year-old son. Undeterred, she embarks on a tour of her island's black soil, alone with Tommy, the strange, almost deaf child, wearing thick glasses.

[Autumn Rains], with its charm and wit, delights us with this strange and touching relationship between the traveler and her young companion, and with its free and playful approach to the course of life, and to love, against the backdrop of an old wound.

The brilliant Icelandic novelist-whose wonderful novel [Rosa Candida] is still fresh in our minds-possesses a sharp, satirical edge and a witty humor in both situations and ideas, to the point that we surrender to her noble wit. And because her novels are a true breath of literary youth, they resemble life itself. Following the great success of her novel [Rosa Candida], Odor Ava Olafsdottir presents [Autumn Rains], which is being translated into Arabic for the first time.
