Such a well written nonfiction story that refrains from embellishment, instead relying on source material that could have easily not existed and we would never have known of this remarkable Icelandic woman. Dedicated to historical accuracy while casting off the shackles of bigoted and sexist interpretations of the not-so-distant past, I am so impressed with Willson's meticulous research and storytelling. A great deal of thanks is owed for this work.
