Duration: 60 minutes
Kári Gíslason’s latest epic reimagines the fate of one of Iceland’s most famous women of history, taking a sidelined figure from the Viking tales and putting her at the centre of the story. It’s also the first book where University of Queensland Press offered a money-back guarantee of enjoyment. Come find out why as Gíslason discusses his latest work.
