The Master of Hestviken
Soaringly romantic and psychologically nuanced, Undest's novel is also a meticulous re-creation of a world split between pagan codes of retribution and the rigors of Christian piety — a world where law is a fragile new invention and manslaughter is so common that it's punishable by fine.
