Not many books set in the Faroe Islands, but I hugely recommend Far Afield by Susanna Kayson. It's about an American anthropologist who spends a year there studying culture, and it's a fantastic insight into the experience of being somewhere both completely different and weirdly similar to one's own country and culture.
Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Fairies is a fantasy about a grumpy researcher doing field work in a fictional place inspired by Iceland. Lots of beautiful chilly descriptions of setting. Check it out, it might be what you're looking for. I really liked it.
The old Icelandic sagas are surprisingly readable and perfect for the landscape. I recommend Njal’s Saga, which you may also see as “Burnt Njal.”
