This spellbinding tale of 14th-century Greenland takes readers deep into that remote world and within the family of a proud and unlucky Greenlander, whose bitter enmity toward a neighbor reverberates tragically through the days of his children and grandchildren. There is also a hint of slowly dawning apprehension--cast adrift from Europe, the Greenlanders are in the grip of a fearful isolation.
