Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta. This book stirred up a lot of dark emotions in me; depression and sadness. Mankind is so often unkind to their fellow men. I searched for a light and found it in the midst of this book. Beautifully written; never forgotten. (  ) juju2cat | Jan 23, 2021 |  Got through it very fast and immediately read the next one - 'Voices' - which I liked better. More interesting plot and not so much violence to women. (  ) Ma_Washigeri | Jan 23, 2021 | Erlendur discovers a skeleton on the outskirts of sprawling Reykjavik and discovers what happened during WWII while the skeleton is exhumed. At the same time he is dealing with his daughter who is lying in a coma. (  ) WiebkeK | Jan 21, 2021 | Op een bouwterrein wordt een menselijk bot gevonden. Het begin van een speurtocht naar van wie dat bot geweest kan zijn. Een geschiedenis van liefde komt boven, maar ook een van huiselijk geweld in een gezin met drie kinderen vlak voor en tijdens WO II. En terwijl Erlendur probeert te achterhalen wie daar begraven is, ligt zijn dochter op de intensive care in coma. Weer een geweldig mooi boek van Indriðason! wannabook08 | Jan 18, 2021 | Best for: People who like a mystery that you might actually start to be able to solve, but probably won’t. Like, nothing in here was utterly shocking, but it wasn’t so telescoped that I could have written the ending myself. In a nutshell: CN for the book: Intimate Partner Violence, Ableism Detective Erlendur is back. His daughter is in hospital and unconscious, while he tries to solve the mystery of some bones found near a construction site that are likely 60 or more years old. While he works things out, we get a glimpse into what may have happened, until it all comes together. Worth quoting: “Spring and summer were not Erlendur’s seasons. Too bright. Too frivolous. He wanted heavy, dark winters.” (Same, Erlendur. Same.) Why I chose it: I’m in it now. I think there are like ten books in this series? So buckle up! Review: So, I’m not entirely sure how I feel about this author. I think he tells stories well, and he is sensitive to the seriousness of the crimes he whips up for his books. But so far, women in distress have featured heavily - the first book involved sexual assault; this one involves intimate partner violence. I’m REALLY hoping the next book does not have a woman as the main victim, but we shall see. A child is discovered gnawing on a toy, which turns out to be a rib, from a skeleton that has been discovered. It is clearly a VERY old body, so the investigation doesn’t any level of urgency. The author solves this, however, by interspersing chapters of the investigation with vignettes from the lives of those who may have been involved in this death. It’s Iceland during WWII, where far outside of Reykjavik, the British have set up barracks. A family lives in a rented shack nearby, with a vicious husband, a scared wife, and three children. Is the skeleton one of theirs? I mean, I knew whose bones I was hoping it was … We learn a bit more about Erlendur’s colleagues in this one. The guy is in a relationship and is a bit emotionally immature; the woman plays a bit more of a role in this one (interviewing people) and also has a moment with one interviewer that acknowledges the lack of women in her field. I get that, again, the main character is a man, and that’s what I’m here for, but it’d be cool if more of the women around him weren’t experiencing deep amounts of distress.

 With only two of his novels currently circulating in English translation, Arnaldur Indridason puts Iceland on the map as a major destination for enthusiasts of Nordic crime fiction.The author raises the same ghosts in SILENCE OF THE GRAVE applying his austere style to a crime of such emotional breadth and sociological complexity that it acquires the sweep and consequence of epic storytelling. The title of Arnaldur Indridason' s new book, Silence of the Grave , gives an indication of the case that confronts the Icelandic detective Erlendur and his colleagues in the Reykjavik police: the discovery of a skeleton on the outskirts of the city. It is a fascinating mystery, which develops slowly while we learn more about the unhappy Erlendur and his relationship with his estranged family. Indridason's low-key style is far from the fast-moving thrillers that fill the best-seller lists, but he's a writer worth seeking out.
Building work in an expanding Reykjavik uncovers a shallow grave. Years before, this part of the city was all open hills, and Erlendur and his team hope this is a typical Icelandic missing person scenario; perhaps someone once lost in the snow, who has lain peacefully buried for decades. Things are never that simple. Whilst Erlendur struggles to hold together the crumbling fragments of his own family, his case unearths many other tales of family pain. The hills have more than one tragic story to tell- tales of failed relationships and heartbreak; of anger, domestic violence and fear; of family loyalty and family shame. Few people are still alive who can tell the story, but even secrets taken to the grave cannot remain hidden forever. No library descriptions found. |
