Heimanfylgja. A novel about the upbringing of Hallgrímur Pétursson based on sources about his family and his time. A novel by Steinunn Jóhannesdóttir.
What made Hallgrímur Pétursson the poet he was? In this fascinating novel, Steinunn Jóhannesdóttir has recreated the environment that shaped Hallgrímur. We meet his parents, siblings, relatives, friends, the rulers of the century and the common people. Passions, loves and conflicts characterize the narrative and in the background are the major events of the century: a volcanic eruption, a power struggle and the Turkish invasion. Steinunn has previously written the novel Reisubók Guðríður Símonardóttir about the adventures of Hallgrímur's wife. (Bókatíðindi 2010).
