Her savings are depleted, her love life is nonexistent, and she cannot face another winter staring at the four walls of her shabby apartment. Celebrating Christmas and ringing in 1986 in the remote fishing hamlet of Sk疝ar seems like a small price to pay for a chance to earn some teaching credentials and get her life back on track. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut Sk疝ar isn't just one of Iceland's most isolated villages, it is home to just ten people. Una's only students are two girls aged seven and nine. Teaching them only occupies so many hours in a day and the few adults she interacts with are civil but distant. She only seems to connect with Th, a man she shares an attraction with but who is determined to keep her at arm's length. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs darkness descends throughout the bleak winter, Una finds herself more often than not in her rented attic space--the site of a local legendary haunting--drinking her loneliness away. She is plagued by nightmares of a little girl in a white dress singing a lullaby. And when a sudden tragedy echoes an event long buried in Sk疝ar's past, the villagers become even more guarded, leaving a suspicious Una seeking to uncover a shocking truth that's been kept secret for generations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ragnar Jasson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1250830583\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250830586\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Minotaur Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/24\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.29h x 5.52w x 0.83d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/03\/2022","brand":"Ragnar Jasson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988627947775,"sku":"9781250830586","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_15080e1e-78d7-4a6e-9316-6d2fd8a2e229.jpg?v=1683295485","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-girl-who-died-ragnar-jonasson-9781250830586","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
