Surtsey by Mette Karlsvik

September 14 2022

Mette Karlsvik’s novella, Surtsey is a tale about the Midsummer’s Night, when everything is possible, on the Icelandic island of Heimaey.

Surtsey creates a condensed tale, about shifts in the natural world and in human beings. A beautiful, highly original tale by one of our most interesting authors.
