Steinunn Johannesdottir

Steinunn Johannesdottir (b. 1948) studied drama in Stockholm and worked as an actress for some years. Gudridur's Journey was on the bestseller list in Iceland for months and has been reprinted every year after its first publication.
“The author does a very good job of re-creating the period and the surroundings for the reader in vivid detail…And here the author has succeeded admirably… Gudridur’s character description is never simplistic; on the contrary, the author communicates to us a complex and multifaceted image which stays with the reader long after the book has concluded.”
