This book club will explore the Eybyggja saga, a magnificent Old Icelandic epic filled with feud, revenge, memorable characters and a lot of paranormal activity. For one month we'll be delving into its exquisite storytelling, examining everything from its cultural background to narrative themes. Meet Snorri the chieftain, Thorolf the revenant or Katla the witch in a story that'll remain with you long after you've read it!
If you enjoy this format, you'll get the chance to vote what saga we discuss next!
