Winner of the Nordic Council Literature Prize 'Enchantingly poetic
. . . spellbinding . . . magical . . . exceptional' Independent On
a stark Icelandic mountainside, the imposing Reverend Baldur
Skuggason hunts an elusive blue vixen for her near-mythical pelt.
The treacherous journey across snow and ice will push his physical
and mental endurance to the limit. In Baldur Skuggason's parish, a
young woman with Down's Syndrome is buried. After being found
shackled to the timbers of a shipwreck in 1868, she was rescued by
the naturalist Fridrik B. Fridjonsson. Now he will open the package
she always carried with her, hoping to solve the puzzle of her
origins. As the ice begins to melt, the mystery surrounding the
trio's connected fates is unravelled in this spellbinding fable, an
exquisite tale of metamorphosis by one of Iceland's most acclaimed
writers. 'A magical novel' Bjoerk 'Describes its world with
brilliant, precise, concrete colour and detail... Comic and
lyrical.'AS Byatt, The Times
