Instead, her plans are wrecked by her best friend's four-year-old deaf-mute son, thrust into her reluctant care. But when the boy chooses the winning numbers for a lottery ticket, the two of them set off on a road trip across Iceland with a glove compartment stuffed full of their jackpot earnings. Along the way, they encounter black sand beaches, cucumber farms, lava fields, flocks of sheep, an Estonian choir, a falconer, a hitchhiker, and both of her exes desperate for another chance. What begins as a spontaneous adventure will unexpectedly and profoundly change the way she views her past and charts her future. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eButterflies in November\u003c\/i\u003e is a blackly comic, charming, and uplifting tale of friends and lovers, motherhood, and self-discovery.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuður Ava Ólafsdóttir\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Iceland in 1958, studied art history in Paris and has lectured in History of Art at the University of Iceland.
