Description
The boundaries dissolve and the parallels between Gunnlöth's circle and the strange company into which Dís's mother is drawn as she fights to clear Dís's name grow ever closer. The earth-cherishing goddess seems set on a collision course with strategic thinker Odin who has discovered that iron can be extracted from the marshes where she resides, and environmental disaster also looms in the modern context, brought into sharp focus by a shocking world event.
At the same time the novel is a moving, under-the-skin portrait of a mother in crisis, cast into a maelstrom of conflicting emotions by seeing her daughter under arrest and in prison. Dís's father has refused to get involved, claiming he is too busy. Her mother is left to tussle with lawyers and fight to clear Dís's name. She goes to Copenhagen in order to be near the prison where Dís is on remand. The couple's business ambitions for a government contract will be in shreds if the prosecution accuses Dís of involvement with a terrorist group, but on the other hand, how can any mother willingly pursue the option of agreeing that her own daughter is mentally ill? Particularly when she has followed Dís into the depths of legend in her quest for the truth?
