Island

<b>A young Danish woman explores her family's past and Faroe Islands ancestry across three generations. In the process she uncovers details of the passions and challenges her grandparents and their siblings confronted when they were her age and considers universal themes of home and identity.</b> <p/><b>Lush lyrical prose transports the reader.</b> <p/>Family brings the young woman back to the Faroe Islands - the windswept rocky northern archipelago where she has never lived but which she has always called home. There she finds her stories entwining with those of her ancestors as she searches for a way to connect with the culture and her kin. Rooted in the wild beauty of the islands and the author's own history this is a bewitching tale of exile homecoming and what it means to belong.
