Produktbeschreibung
Where the f**k is Blönduós? is both a triumph of travel writing and a masterpiece of memoir. It deserves a space on every bookcase and in every suitcase. Richard Moriarty - The Sun. Having survived a terrifying burglary, Emma had reached a point in life where she feared being awake and dreaded falling asleep. She grabbed her late mother's notebooks, packed her car with warm clothes, a swimsuit that had seen better days, a set of winter tyres and a brand new tent, and caught a ferry to Iceland. Surtsey was an unexpected eruption - just as my own birth was unplanned and something of an interruption. So captivated by the magic of Iceland, our mother returned home with a bar of Toblerone for each of us. There were no hugs or questions as to our welfare. My sisters and I had been alone for three weeks. I was almost 5 years old. Inspired by a six-month journey to Iceland in wintertime, "Where the f**k is Blönduós?" is moving, honest, and entertaining. Why would a middle-aged woman choose to spend a winter alone in the far north of Iceland? It's a fair question, though the answer isn't quite so straightforward. I dreamed of lying on a blanket gazing up into the night sky, holding my breath in anticipation of the colourful aurora that may soon dance overhead, without being asked, "Will you be long?" By battling the elements, conquering her fears, and learning to knit, all under the watchful gaze of the small community, Emma made sense of the past, found peace with the present, and felt strong enough to deal with the future. Authentic, gripping, and as vivid as a cold winter's night, this inspirational Icelandic adventure will take you on an unforgettable journey of discovery and healing. Chris Riches - Daily Express
Autorenporträt
Emma Strandberg lebt zwischen Deutschland und Skandinavien und sammelt Geschichten über die Liebe in kleinen Städten und Geheimnisse des perfekten Kaffees. Als ehemalige Journalistin entdeckte sie die Magie romantischer Komödien nach ihrer eigenen chaotischen Scheidung, zwei geretteten Katzen und dem Umzug an die Ostseeküste. Emma glaubt, dass in jeder Geschichte ein Kater mit Charakter, ein Mann, der Kaffee kochen kann, und ein Happy End stehen sollte, das der Leser verdient. Autorin des Bestsellers "Café am Ende der Welt" und der Serie "Nordische Herzen" beweist sie, dass Glück in den gewöhnlichsten Dingen zu finden ist - in einem Glas hausgemachter Marmelade und einer Tasse richtig gebrühten Kaffees.
