“I don’t know how long we had been lying asleep on the rug when the buzzing woke us up.
“Have you ever seen so many flies?” Kristin asked, trying to wave them away.
“Those aren’t flies,” I said. “They’re full stops to end the poems I plan to write for you.”

A young man moves to Reykjavik just before the economic crisis and becomes a participant in a childhood friend’s unusual project. At the same time he falls in love with Kristin. Life is poetic, every moment is a composition.

The Last Confession of Love is a beautiful, funny and exciting novel about love, art and life.

Shortlisted for The European Union Prize for Literature 2017

FOUR STARS OUT OF FIVE POSSIBLE
“A beautifully written book,  full of speculations, depression, humour, fragments of poetry, and love.”
BRYNHILDUR BJORNSDOTTIR, FRETTABLADID DAILY

“This is an entertaining book with a diverse plot …
In its simplicity it’s the most beautiful thing I’ve read for a long time.”
JORUNN SIGURDARDOTTIR, ORD UM BAEKUR, RUV, NATIONAL BROADCASTING SERVICE

 “The book kind of deals with this, with art and life and where they meet and interweave … I think that the book reaches a certain conclusion about major characters and ideologies that I cannot reveal. I also find it interesting how the cogwheels of world history intermesh with the cogwheels of the world history of the soul, how the great men of history are cogs in everyday stories and create a basis for love and hate relationships without knowing it.”
