Thank you so much, ladies, for bringing this debate to us and allowing my mother tongue to provide the bridge between your two! It was a really interesting discussion and I've always been impressed with the support the Icelandic govt gives to the arts, that's really encouraging that it is so clearly valued. What a wonderful story of Ýrsa's relative officially dying of a broken heart! 💔 And congratulations to Ines for the Snorri Sturluson award, good luck with your translations, what a wonderful task to be bringing these classics to your mother tongue!
