pickJust finished this 4-book historical fiction series about the Swedish immigrant experience to the U.S. If you have ancestors who came to America from Sweden in the mid-1800s and settled in the upper Midwest, this is their story. And it‘s an absorbing one. The author did a great deal of research to make sure the details are historically accurate. Definitely recommend.
EvieBee This sounds great! I‘m a fan of Cather‘s immigrant trilogy so this sounds fab. 3y
Amiable @EvieBee My great-grandparents came from Sweden in the 1920s and settled near NYC, so their experience was different. But my husband's ancestors followed the actual path depicted in the books -- same time period, made their ways to Minnesota to carve out farmland, etc. It felt like I was reading a diary of his family! Very good. (edited) 3y
