This book is sublime and one I regularly recommend. The scene in the model village is comedy gold!

Joining the #blogtour for A Lethal Legacy by
Guðrún Gúðlaugsdóttir (trans by @graskeggur.bsky.social) from @corylusbooks.bsky.social). A death on a remote farm leads journalist Alma into a complex & almost Gothic affair. #BookSky #crime #Iceland 📚💙

Blog tour poster for Icelandic crime novel A Letha Legacy by Guðrún Gúðlaugsdóttir (translated by Quentin Bates). The black and white cover image of the book, which is on the poster, shows two young girls - one with light hair, one dark - each holding a large doll. The landscape behind them is bleak and stony.

Very mixed feelings about this one. Enjoyed some of the imagery and how Miller rooted us very firmly in this period, but confess to finding it a bit of a slog. Wasn't completely convinced by some characters and the dialogue seemed forced in parts. ⭐⭐⭐

the booker prize judges make a lot of fuss about having to read 153 books. but assuming an average weight of 750g per book, that comes in at 115kg of literature - or just under the weight of a single adult male ostrich
