‘The Ice-Floe Girl’ is a delightful, beautifully-written and
wonderfully observed true story about a nineteen-year-old boy who
meets an innocent, angelic Swedish au pair and then hitch-hikes
across Europe to join her in Sweden, where she lives at the top of
a forbidding villa. She proceeds to take him along with her as an
unwitting spectator to her mysterious life in Copenhagen, Stockholm
and Helsinki. If good writing is about capturing an inexpressible
paradox in words - here it is. This account of an ephemeral beauty
presents in precise photographic details a remarkable true tale of
people and places, retrieves eternall meaningful passing moments
that would otherwise have been lost forever and fixes them to the
banner of eternal love. The Ice-Floe Girl is an unforgettable,
enigmatic quest stretching from a north London suburb to a small
wooden town on the shores of the Baltic.
