Summary:
In
Nova
Scotia
at the end of the 19th century, an Icelandic boy is stranded ashore with his grandparents on the province's Eastern Shore. This fictionalized memoir evokes the
immigrant
experience in the rural Maritimes, and then in the Icelandic settlements of
Manitoba
. Author Johann Magnus Bjarnason published this best-selling book in Icelandic, and it earned him a reputation as one of Iceland's leading writers of the early 20th century. For contemporary readers, his book provides an unusual vantage point on life in rural
Nova
Scotia
and then in the Icelandic settlements in
Manitoba
more than a hundred years ago.
