The Last Days of Skálholt. A novel by Bjarni Harðarson.
The Last Days of Skálholt tells an untold story of chaos at the end of the great days of power in Sultartungar. The squabbling of schoolboys, the feudal lords of Stefánungar, the massacre of pilgrims, the truly holy Eilífagvendi, and the peasants trying to bring about a revolution.
That struggle, like everything else, ends up in the silence of the poor who retreat to their huts. When the last of the wealthy has left, the entire history of the place is contained in the memory of one virile old woman, Katrín Greipsdóttir, who finally realizes that the straws, which previously all struggled to become something bigger and bigger, are never anything but straws.
