Land of Love and Ruins

'Oddny Eir is an authentic author, philosopher and mystic. She weaves together diaries and fiction. She is the writer I feel can best express the female psyche of now and has bridged the gap between rural Iceland and Western philosophy. A true pioneer!' (Bjork). An enchanting blend of autobiography, diary, philosophical inquiry, and fantasy, Land of Love and Ruins - winner of the Icelandic Women's Literature Prize in 2012 - is a richly imagined and utterly unique book about being human in the modern world.
