The Tricking of Freya

Ranked #38 in Iceland

A young woman obsessed with uncovering a family secret is drawn into the strange and magical history, language and landscape of Iceland.
 
Freya Morris grows up in a typical American suburb – but every summer, she enters another realm entirely when she visits her relatives in Gimli, a tiny village in Canada settled by Icelandic immigrants. Here she falls under the spell of her troubled but charming aunt Birdie, who thrills her with stories of exotic Norse goddesses, moody Viking bards, and the life of her late grandfather, the most famous poet of "New Iceland."
