Story of a Swedish immigrant to America during the 1800’s who survives despite harrowing odds, captivity, misunderstanding, loneliness, and loss. The ending felt rushed after all he went through, but a fantastic book! Recommend!

Never read a book quite like this one. It was captivating, and it’s clear Diaz is an incredibly talented writer. At times the descriptions went on a little too long for my taste, but it’s definitely a unique, engrossing read that I’m glad I picked up. I have a feeling I’m gonna keep thinking about this one.
