Fiction
Bjartus is a sheep farmer hewing a living from a blighted
patch of land in Iceland. After 18 years of servitude to a
master he despises, all he wants is to raise his flocks
unbeholden to anyone. Nothing, not inclement weather, not
his wives, not his family will come between him and his
goal of financial independence. Only Asta Solillja, the
child he brings up as his daughter, can pierce his stubborn
heart. But she too wants to live independently - and when
Bjartus throws her from the house on discovering she is
pregnant, her more temperate determination is set against
his stony will.
