Védís is a schoolgirl and young single mother in Reykjavík at the end of the 1970s, the time of hash parties and returnees from Christiania. Her father dies, a grief she hardly knows how to feel; love arrives almost as unexpectedly; and she slides into illness as language stops working for her. The novel asks what happens between people when words lose their meaning.
