Review
"This is a readable, enjoyable book. It is one with much struggle and misery, but it has a relatively happy ending. The reader will be pulling for all of them, Aagot in particular, from start to finish." -- Ramsey County History

This review is from: Grass of The Earth: Immigrant Life in the Dakota Country (Borealis Books) (Paperback)
I was interested because my roots were from Norway. This book was interesting but lack that "something" which could have made it that much more interesting and informative. All if all it was OK.
