Confessions of a Settler's Daughter. By Laura Goodman Salverson. Margrét Björgvinsdóttir Icelandic.
Laura Goodman Salverson occupies a special place in Canadian and Western Icelandic literature. She was the first Icelander in Canada to write a major literary work in English. Her memoirs, translated by Margrétar Björgvinsdóttir, were awarded Canada's highest literary prize.
It paints a truthful picture of the conditions and opportunities for immigrants at the turn of the last century, and tells of the fate of Icelanders in the Western world who did not enjoy the success that is often touted.
A great coming-of-age story of a woman who writes with sincerity and humor about her own life and writing career. (Cover text).
