Margrét Tryggvadotir

In La Rochelle, she will be working on the follow-up to her debut teen novel "Sterk", which won Iceland's Guðrún Helgadóttir literary prize in 2020. Birta shares a mousehole with strangers, a life she has chosen rather than stay in her hometown, which she left behind after coming out as trans to a small group of family and friends. But the woman occupying the room next door suddenly disappears without a trace. Another woman disappears some time later. Who are these women and what has become of them? And what's going on with Johanna, his former classmate? Does she have a crush on Birta? Does she realize who Birta is?
