This book is a retelling of the Freydis Eirikdötter's sagas in the Icelandic sagas. The sagas were told for centuries among a sexist culture before being written down by a different but equally sexist culture. What might have Freydis might really have been like? What would have pushed a woman out of her usual role? Why might a society make her a villain?
