This was a random shelf discovery for me, and I ended up loving it. Wilson writes about Thurídur with such an engaging voice and warm eye to detail, that I found myself caught up in her life almost from the first page. I learned a lot about Iceland's history as well, and I'm really glad I listened to the audiobook. It really gave me context for the pronunciations that are outside my experience. If you're in the mood for an interesting biography of a fascinating woman this would be a great choice-it put me in the mind of Empress Dowager Cixi by Jung Chang.
