Short but not so sweet. I enjoyed the experience and feel it ought to be on school reading lists. A significant novel in Literature.

Not really a book that carried me to my warm and cosy book reading place. 3.5/10 and 5/10 for the group. Sigurjón Birgir Sigurðsson, known as Sjón, is an Icelandic poet, novelist, and lyricist. a young gay boy living in Iceland around the time of the Spanish Flu epidemic…. I don’t usually look at other reviews but on this occasion I peeked at GoodReads and so many people thought this a great book. So don’t take my word for it, decide for your self.
