520    Novelist Sarah Moss had a childhood dream of moving to 
       Iceland, sustained by a wild summer there when she was 
       nineteen. In 2009, she saw an advertisement for a job at 
       the University of Iceland and applied on a whim, despite 
       having two young children and a comfortable life in an 
       English cathedral city. The resulting adventure was shaped
       by Iceland's economic collapse, which halved the value of 
       her salary, by the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull and by a 
       collection of new friends, including a poet who saw the 
       only bombs fall on Iceland in 1943, a woman who speaks to 
       elves and a chef who guided Sarah's family around the 
       intricacies of Icelandic cuisine. Sarah was drawn to the 
       strangeness of Icelandic landscape, and explored hillsides
       of boiling mud, volcanic craters and fissures, and the 
       unsurfaced roads that link remote farms and fishing 
       villages in the far north. She walked the coast path every
       night after her children were in bed, watching the 
       northern lights and the comings and goings of migratory 
       birds. As the weeks and months went by, the children 
       settled in local schools and Sarah got to know her 
       students and colleagues, she and her family learned new 
       ways to live.
