One of our most innovative storytellers, Audur Ava Ólafsdóttir's new novel is an atmospheric and heartwarming Christmas-set story of a family of intergenerational midwives, found manuscripts, and meditations on the meaning of life and light. This is Audur's fourth book to be published in Black Cat at Grove, since her debut Butterflies in November.Ólafsdóttir last book, Miss Iceland, won the Nordic Council Literature Prize (the most esteemed prize in the Nordic region), the Icelandic Literature Prize (the equivalent of our NBA), the Prix Médicis, the Icelandic Bookseller's Prize, and is currently longlisted for the Dublin Literary Award. It also earned rave reviews in NPR, Washington Post, and O Magazine where it was selected as one of ?28 of the Best Books to Transport You This Summer, Written By Women Around the World.?Set to publish in early December, as with Small Things Like These, this enchanting Christmas novel will make the perfect holiday gift. A beloved author by indie booksellers, we expect strong support for this latest title. Ólafsdóttir's last three titles have sold a cumulative 21, 733 copies, continuing to sell years out from publication. Animal Life's cover comes from the same designer who produced the charming and distinctive covers of Ólafsdóttir's backlist, and together they'll make a lovely package. Ólafsdóttir's novels have been translated into over 30 languages, garnering love from critics and readers alike across the globe. We expect great coverage for Animal Life. As with Ólafsdóttir's previous novels, we will publish simultaneously with Pushkin Press in the UK.
