Philip Ardagh reviews Between Two Seas by Marie-Louise Jensen
This is a book that lives through its narrator and shows the lives of people probably unfamiliar to most British readers: those living a harsh 19th-century existence in an alien culture which is happy to welcome a newcomer to its fold, in return for a certain Scandinavian conformity. I was left with a real sense of having been there myself, and can offer no higher praise than that. PHILIP ARDAGH
