it was amazing

"You could find another home, Lárus. Anywhere in the world.
Only in this world? That is the only choice you give me?"

One of the best things I've read this year. A couple travel to the Borgarfjaroasysla Grand Imperial Hotel to adopt a baby. Full of eccentric folk in a blisteringly cold unnamed northern European city, the wife is ravaged by cancer, the man hoping the baby will mend an ever growing distance between them.

Eerie, almost fable-like, with a cast of unhinged characters - a cross between The Shining and Sartre.
