Based on a true account of the crime of a young girl and her brother which was exploited in the feud between two country sheriffs in the 18th century Danish colony of Iceland, Men at Axlir spans the darkest years of the country’s history.

Gripping, sensitive and evocative… its steely elegance recalls the great master of this sort of writing, Stevenson himself.
