Publisher's Synopsis
It's been quite a few years since Amma last flew from her home in Reykjavik to England. But now more than 100 years old, she won't miss the first wedding of one of her great grandsons for the world, gathering all the energy which is left in her to carry that precious heirloom which has always been meant to be his wedding present. But other passengers have boarded the same flight with weird ideas about the way things should happen onboard. When the hijackers demand volunteers to be executed first, Amma doesn't have to think very long, not imagining what chain of events she will trigger here and there, now and later. And who is that weird man speaking in the most unexpected fashion? Why is he there, and what is he planning to do about the whole situation? "Life is fragile, handle with prayer" is a motto which may take all its meaning in this story.
