Description

The Whispering Muse by Sjón A mesmerising novel that weaves together Greek and Nordic myths with the legacies of the Second World War. Valdimar Haraldsson, an eccentric Icelander, joins a Danish merchant ship on its voyage to the Black Sea in 1949, where he encounters tales of adventure and myth. On board, he is regaled by the second mate's stories of Jason's quest for the Golden Fleece, but his own 'Fish and Culture' lecture falls flat. As the journey progresses, Valdimar finds himself drawn into a world of darkness and provocation, where everything seems capable of change. This novel reminds us that even in the most unexpected places, myth and reality can intersect. Sjón's masterful storytelling brings together disparate threads to create a truly unforgettable tale.
