About the book

Laxdæla Saga is one of the great medieval Icelandic family sagas, set largely in the valleys of western Iceland during the Viking Age. At its centre is a complex web of kinship, love, rivalry and honour involving Guðrún Ósvífrsdóttir, Kjartan Ólafsson and Bolli Þorleiksson. Blending family history with romance and feud, the saga offers a vivid portrait of Icelandic society, law, travel and the consequences of conflicting loyalties.
