[Benjamin Kahn · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was an interesting account of Iceland immigration to Canada in the 19th and early 20th century. The author does a good job of explaining life in Iceland at the time, and the struggles and challenges faced by the immigrant settlers as they arrived and tried to make a home for themselves in this new land.

Las hana reyndar á íslensku en finn hana ekki hér. Ágætis skemmtun.
