    <body><![CDATA[A fascinating read that'll appeal to anyone who has visited Iceland or who wants to go there. Its appeal will also be appreciated by those who enjoy a good mystery constructed out of complicated characters with a nod to an equally complex history. An intriguing read, I couldn't put it down once I go...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/49591854">more...</a>]]></body>
