(Silver City, NM) – The Silver City Public Library will host an author presentation on Friday, November 6, 3:00pm featuring Mary Hotvedt's new historical novel Unn's Saga.
Unn's Saga explores what happens when a 9th century "entity" becomes a lodger in the body of a fussy modern young woman. The woman's therapist, Dr. Ina Pelletier, finds her staid life upended by the appearance of this "Other" in her patient, the troubled but whiny R. Is R. having a psychotic breakdown or is this Unn person real?
Unn Ketilsdottir, known as Unn the Deep-Minded in the Icelandic sagas, wants to taste everything modern life has to offer, just as she did in her own times. She insists that Ina treat her also as a client and listen to her remarkable life story. Meanwhile, Unn forces R. to loosen up and change. This leads to a power struggle, and Ina watches them spiral toward disaster. Will Unn destroy R. out of pride?
