Fires. Love and other disasters

What can happen when an active volcano wakes up? Earthquakes rock the Reykjanes Peninsula, awakening eight centuries of dormant volcanoes. No one knows them as well as volcanologist Anna Arnardóttir, who has to cope with the most difficult task of her career so far. Meanwhile, he loses control of his seemingly beautiful and perfect life. Will she be able to avert the tragedies that are undoubtedly coming? Combining science and literature, the novel offers a reflection on the moral and practical questions of how we survive as humans in relationships and how to face the elements. < br> < br> "The disasters the lead faces in her professional life intersect with the disasters in her personal life, leading to explosions in both places. Anna tries with all her might to fight love, but her reason cannot contend with the fire that has already been kindled." < br> - Icelandic daily Morgunbladid < br> < br> "The pacing of the novel is perfectly timed, completely immersive for the reader, as there is not a moment's lull in the narrative. A true gem of a book." < br> - prof. Gauti Kristmannsson < br> < br> "Poets can prattle on about love all they want, but I know it, I've watched it in action. It is nothing but a natural disaster." < br> < br> The publication of the book was supported by the Centre for Icelandic Literature.
