Innflytjandinn

Rate this book
Innflytjandi finnst látinn úti í Örfirisey á dimmum og köldum febrúardegi. Um sömu helgi verða landsmenn helteknir af hvarfi ungrar, íslenskrar stúlku sem gufar sporlaust upp í myrkrinu, snjónum og ófærðinni.
Hildur Haraldsdóttir sem búið hefur í New York um árabil kemur til Íslands með jarðneskar leifar vinar síns til að uppfylla hans hinstu ósk. Hún hefur þýtt Kóraninn á íslensku og leitar lögreglan ráða hjá henni í tengslum við lát innflytjandans. Sjálf á hún undir högg að sækja vestan hafs og sogast nú að auki inn í íslenskt skammdegi.
Innflytjandinn er mögnuð skáldsaga um mátt og árekstur menningarheima, um vegi ástarinnar og óblíð örlög, um lystisemdir lífsins, vonir manna og vonbrigði.
