There is nothing good about the photographer, and I wish the romance was never an element. He's a total drip and when he shows his true colors toward the end of the book and Anna finally gets disgusted, I cheered aloud. The marriage between Anna and her husband was sad...it felt one-sided and I was not surprised when Tomas showed up in the picture. I didn't fully understand her husband's intentions in the marriage - it often seemed like material items and wealth were what he wanted to provide her with, and supported her self-righteousness; and yet, through all of that, she is always depicted (in my mind anyway) as being a bit homely and not as polished as her lifestyle would make her seem. She goes from wanting to hide everything from her husband to confessing and wanting to try to salvage things and resolve them amicably, but then she continues to see Tomas off and on...and then gets mad at her husband when he brings up separation. Then she gets mad at Tomas when she suspects he might be having a fling with someone else...

There were a lot of vocabulary words that I did not understand, and wasn't interested enough to look up. For much of the science-based narrative, I pretty much skimmed over it. I got the general gist: Iceland is unique; the land continues to grow, change, evolve; the whole situation can be very dangerous; there are a lot of tasks geologists and other scientists need to complete in their work.
