Read The Journey Home: A Novel Storyline:

A lyrical and arresting novel by acclaimed Icelandic writer Olaf Olafsson about one woman's redemptive journey home.Disa
Jonsdottir has managed an inn for years with her companion, Anthony, in
the English countryside. Compelled by the demands of time to revisit
the village of her childhood, she departs England for her native
Iceland. Along the way memories surface-of the rift between her and her
mother, of the fate of her German-Jewish lover, of the trauma she
experienced while working as a cook in a wealthy household. Skillfully
weaving past and present, Olafsson builds toward an emotional climax
that renders The Journey Home moving, suspenseful, and unforgettable.
