Alright here we go. I saw the movie once, when I was 14 and had zero idea what it was (in the long long ago before times of VHS rental, with no internet to preview a trailer or read a synopsis)
I'm very curious and a little afraid...

#litetature Iceland. Night Guest. By Hildur Knutsdottir. Fast read. Engaging. I guessed the ending but not exactly as it played out. Tremendous universality in the themes that dealt with relationships between men and women- love to meet her for coffee when I’m in Reykjavík in May!! Congratulations!
