An island nation that wants to be involved in the politics of wider  Europe, but also removed from it. A fractious debate over power,  sovereignty, the rule of law. The experiences of emigrants and  immigrants. Not a potted summary of twenty-first century political  events, but rather of the themes raised by the thirteenth-century  Icelandic poem, Egil’s Saga, and the travels and travails of its eponymous hero. Kate Marlow tells a tale that gives us a tantalising glimpse into identity, place and history. Find out more at https://wp.me/p2iX9Z-7xr
