"They were like the day at night, melted without losing each other ... [...] Something was lost in the way ... they were aware of it, but they did not do it great. Sometimes they stumbled. Life should not be as in fairy tales, "writes in a fragment of the book" After the Double Glass "by Irish writer Halldóra Thoroddsen.
The subject of "After Double Glass" is built on the story of two elderly people - a love story for the youth of the soul who is not obedient to body shrinkage. Suddenly, as he faced day-to-day life and felt excluded, an elderly and widowed woman has long met a man with whom he is fond of.
But what can the two lives in the west offer? Everything. Since love has age?
The novel has won the Icelandic Women's Literature Prize in 2016 and the European Union Literature Prize in 2017.
"It's an old story, a man meets a woman. Only do we know how to do that? [...] Of course, he did not want to return to the youth. He understands what everyone wants, as half of his life passes. It's important to get away from being present, even with superhuman efforts. Laughter should lie to death ... and death with its simplicity thinks: wait a bit, there is no place for me ... here are all the health and the wine. "- fragment.
