Add to basketA strange and elegant Icelandic epic that weaves science, art and magic into a beguiling whole. Set in Iceland in 1635, at a time when science was inextricably mixed with magic, Sjon's novel follows a self-taught healer who has been condemned to exile for his heretical conduct. Banished to a barren island, he is left to meditate on his mesmerising, tragic and consistently surprising past.
