Ragnarok is the story of the end of the world: the destruction of life on this planet and the end of the gods themselves. What more relevant myth could any writer tackle?
As the bombs rain down on wartime England, a young girl is evacuated to the countryside. Struggling to make sense of her changed life, she is given a volume of ancient Norse myths, and her inner and outer worlds are transformed.
