Internationally acclaimed author Yrsa Sigurdardottir takes watchers on a tour of her native Iceland while she previews her newest Iceland thriller, MY SOUL TO TAKE, an evocative, suspensful tale that exposes Icelands sinister history.
Great Video. I have been visiting Iceland every 2 years for over 20 years now. I really enjoyed your descriptions of Snaefellsness. I thought that you were depicting the black chuch at budir and imagined the hotet in My soul to take to be influenced by the new hotel there. I also recognised Arnistapi and Hellna in the novel. I have just come home with Ashes to Dust, which I will be reading very soon. We did not make our trip this year due to the volcano, but hope to come " home" soon.
I ran the first bit of the videa about 20 times to try and catch the pronounciation of your name.I still can't say it ! I am halfway through Last Rituals and I am loving it.. I love the strange sounding names ("Mist" what a great name.)
I can feel the cold air and the unforgiving climate of Iceland.,the incredibly understated humour: (is this typical or just Yrsa?), the atmosphere of academic detachment, (which I have noticed in some Swedish friends of mine)
interesting. I love the novels.

I read My Soul To Take now reading Last Rituals. Great to see pics and hear the pronunciations and the accent.
