About This Book

Undina's heart is first broken at 14, emigrating against her wish from the icy fjords of her beloved Iceland. Nine years later in 1881, poor crops and marital heartbreak force her family from the tall pines of Lily Lake in Ontario, Canada to the rugged lands of the Dakota Territory. Her writing, the love of her father, and a deep vein of courage help her through the difficulties of building a life in the wilderness. Plagued by loss and melancholy, Undina turns her struggles into a wellspring of creativity, beauty, and meaning that captures the history of Icelandic literature.
