Gudmundsson, Bodvar Where the Winds Dwell [Hibyli vindanna] Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Turnstone Press 1997 0888012543 / 9780888012548 First English Edition Trade Paperback Fine No Jacket 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall WINNER OF THE 1996 ICELANDIC LITERARY AWARD Originally published in Iceland by Mal og Menning (1995). Translation of Hibyli vindanna. Translated from the Icelandic by Keneva Kunz. Where the Winds Dwell is a letter from a father to his daughter. It is Patricia's inheritance; her family history, which takes root in Iceland, blossoms in North America, and spans more tha a century. But a family myth is more than a shoebox of letters and papers. Patricia's father, a world class opera singer, has given melody to their family's journey from Iceland. The search for a better life is an ancient song passed throgh the generations. At times it is a light-hearted ballad; at other times, its heart cries tragedy. A joyful opus, Patricia's inheritance is a story llike no other." Fine black color pictorial trade paperback.
