Reviews

"Nordic noir, seen perhaps most brilliantly in "Travel Companion," a story about a relationship gone sour in which death is omnipresent, and it seems that perhaps the wife has murdered her husband, or the husband her wife, or...what really happened after all?" E.P. Clark, Amazon.com

In ‘Travel Companion’ by Rúnar Helgi Vignisson, a woman on a hiking trip sends back text messages to her partner – but a recent rift has taken place. The story is both a travel trip – and a hesitant examination of the wounds of that relationship, which won’t be easy to heal, “after what was said." Actually, it’s not certain there’s any desire to do so. "Something has to give. Something will give”. Arja Salafranca, Goodreads
