I loved this book. It was an ethno vacation to a vanished culture. The Norse colony on Greenland lasted almost 500 years. Jane Smiley relates sixty years in the life of one family in quotidian detail with something exciting happening every so often, the way life was for most people in the past. This is a book to savor over the course of a month. Get in your time machine and spend an hour with the Greenlanders. You'll remember your trips long afterwards.
