As the holidays approach, new books are filling the shelves, much to our delight. Hafnarfjörður Library highlights selected authors and their contributions to the holiday book season each week in November on Mondays at 17.30.

Kári Valtýsson presents this year with his crime novel Hyldýpi. He blends reality and fiction, drawing on the situation in the Darfur region of Sudan and conditions in Iceland, exploring what could happen without proper precautions. The story follows three intertwined characters: Dögg Marteinsdóttir, a young doctor with Doctors Without Borders in Sudan; Kristján, who has just opened his own law firm in Reykjavík; and Pawel Nowak, a young Pole expecting a child with his Icelandic girlfriend.

Hyldýpi is Kári’s fourth book and this is his first visit to Hafnarfjörður Library.
