Travellers of the North by Fiona Smith
The tenth-century Saint Sunniva made a miraculous voyage from Ireland to the Western Norwegian island of Selja, where she took refuge in a cave. In 1170, her incorrupt relics were translated from Selja to Bergen Cathedral. This is an attempt to liberate Sunniva from her story.
