“Can one person bear the weight of another? If so, for how long?”

An old woman travels out into the country to attend her brother’s funeral. This brings back to her memory events that happened during her childhood in Murky Creek. Life’s hard struggles, painful childhood, and the impermanence of existence, are the subjects of this little story.

“The story is superbly written, and the horrors always
lurking just beneath the surface of the text are almost
tangible. Its images are powerful and convincing,
echoing the work of authors such as Jon Trausti, who
wrote so well and vividly about the hardships ordinary
Icelandic folk had to endure at one time.”
