Join us in May for a discussion of The Reindeer of Chinese Gardens with author Barbara Sjoholm.
Norwegian-born Dagny Bergland and her husband arrive in turn-of-the century Port Townsend, Washington, after years of sailing their merchant ship around the globe. They’re just in time for the Yukon Gold Rush and the arrival of a group of Sámi reindeer herders from Lapland on their way to Alaska to supply the ill-prepared miners. Dagny’s journals, beginning in 1897, tell a fresh and riveting history of the Pacific Northwest and its immigrants. A novel of friendship, love, loss, and motherhood, The Reindeer of Chinese Gardens is the story of a remarkable woman who learns to steer a new course in a new country.
