Iceland is quirky. And Asifa's just the one to tell you about it. She circumnavigated Iceland on an expedition boat as a tourist to hike the raw landscape, from glaciers to volcanoes, from fields covered in Alaskan lupines to craggy coastlines. She returned with a book full of warm and funny stories from the island that is marooned in the far north of the Atlantic Ocean, close to the Arctic Circle. Stories that could only happen in Iceland. For example: How do Icelanders keep themselves from kissing their cousins? Install an incest prevention app on your phone, silly. You mean incest is a real problem in Iceland? It can be - remember there's only 335,000 of us, all having a common descent - the Vikings. And . . . Did you know Icelanders have to ask permission from the elves to build roads and tunnels? And if they don't... That's just the beginning.
