Sobre IBD

In these stories of surprise and bafflement, everyday protagonists meander through what they see as fixed realities with justified expectations-until the door opens to the unexpected: a pregnant woman ponders her husband making love to a former lover for old times sake; an unpleasant birthday present unsettles an otherwise happy bride; a girl making a wreath for her grandfather’s grave is accused of vanity. Drawing upon the many misunderstandings, inadvertent injuries, and clashing concepts of how things are supposed to be, Sigriddaughter delivers a powerful portrayal of the inevitable disconnect between people that often leaves us astonished and shaken.
