Title: Didn't make it.....
Product review: I am an avid reader and have read most all of Jane Smiley's books. I picked this book up at a library book sale for 50 cents...and that's a good thing, because it sure wasn't worth much more to me. I could NOT get past the similar and way too frequent names of the characters. The writing style is almost biblical...in it's lack of readability. I can surely understand someone with a Nordic background liking this book, and spending the time getting past it's pittfalls. Also....three cheers to the folks that used it as background for their trip to Greenland. As for the casual, or even serious reader......find something else and don't waste your money.
