Description
In the late 10th century, a band of Norse settlers, led by the formidable Erik the Red, journey to the harsh, unforgiving shores of Greenland, seeking a new life and a fresh start. This epic saga chronicles their struggles and triumphs as they attempt to establish a thriving community in a land that fiercely resists their presence. Through the eyes of generations, witness their resilience, their faith, their internal conflicts, and their complex relationships with the land and its native inhabitants. Jane Smiley masterfully weaves a tale of ambition, survival, and the enduring human spirit against the backdrop of a breathtaking, yet perilous, new world.
