Sarah Bussy is a French author who stayed in our house through January 2024 for a work retreat to write and finish her new novel, L'Eclipse, with the help of the Alliance Francaise of Reykjavík.
L'Eclipse has now been released on August 22nd by Julliard Editions publishing house. It is available in every bookshops in France and online.
The novel tells the story of a woman leaving her well established life, travelling North and settling in a house by a lake, facing a dormant volcano and exploring a local forest, planted a few decades before her arrival.
We are delighted to see how much her writting residency in Úlfljótsvatn has inspired her and although the places described are imagined, one can definitely feel the winter storms, the silence, the nature and the lived landscapes of the people living in the Icelandic countryside. Congratulations Sarah Bussy for such a great ode to nature and human life!
