maartje_volder 's review for:

The Greenlanders by Jane Smiley
2.0
reflective slow-paced

Not my cup of tea. I wanted a historic novel, googled for tips, and came across this. And with Greenland being mentioned more this year than the previous 20 years combined it felt like the right choice. I can see the harsh island in those times, the plague, the harsh winters, the hunger. It feels very accurate but also so damn bland and factual.
