About this book

“Names for the Sea: Strangers in Iceland” is a personal narrative by Sarah Moss, chronicling her family’s year-long stay in Reykjavik, Iceland. The book was born out of Moss’s childhood fascination with Iceland, which came to fruition when she spotted a job posting for the University of Iceland.

The memoir provides an intimate look at her experiences during that year, including the financial crisis that slashed her salary in half, the eruption of Eyjafjallajökull, and her encounters with the Icelandic people. Moss delves into the unique Icelandic landscape and adapts to a different way of life. The book has been praised for its vivid portrayal of the Arctic scenery and its fresh approach to the travelogue genre.
