The two men are close friends, but their friendship is tested when Gunnar is accused of murder and must go into hiding. The second part of the book focuses on the feud between two powerful families in Iceland, the Njalssons and the Flosi's. Njal becomes involved in the feud and tries to broker peace, but his efforts are unsuccessful and the feud ultimately leads to tragedy.The third part of the book follows the aftermath of the feud and the trials of those involved. Njal and his family are burned alive in their home, and the survivors must seek justice for their deaths. The fourth and final part of the book deals with the resolution of the feud and the reconciliation of the two families.The Story of Burnt Njal is a classic example of Icelandic sagas, which were written in the Middle Ages and are known for their complex plots, intricate characters, and vivid descriptions of life in medieval Iceland.
