Absolutely enjoyed this book. I had the rare privelege of being the first library patron to read this brand spanking new novel, and I was not disappointed in the least. No foul language, okay, the odd swear word, but a delightfully worded story of Nordic life in the Orlands Isles. For me to get so engrossed, is an under-statement. I couldn't put it down! It is a modern day miracle., and I am a fussy reader of "simple prose" a quote from the publisher. Will be looking for her again.
