ABOUT THE BOOK
By the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature 1955
A magnificent portrait of the eerie Icelandic landscape and one man's dogged struggle for independence.
Bjartur is a sheep farmer determined to eke a living from a blighted patch of land. Nothing — not the merciless weather, not his own family — will come between him and his goal of financial independence. Only Ásta Sóllilja, the child he brings up as his daughter, can pierce his stubborn heart. As she grows up, keen to make her own way in the world, Bjartur's obstinacy threatens to estrange them forever.
