Opis

Based entirely on 6th- to late 9th-century Old English poetry, this novella weaves together a number of enigmatic lyrics and wisdom poems into a story of an Anglo-Saxon woman and her husband and daughter. Exiled on two different islands and trying desperately to reunite, they negotiate the stark realities of violent separation and loss, of love and death, and finally of hope and resilience in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.
