From the dustjacket: "Most intriguing of all is her chronicle of how she adapted her American prejudices to a very new and sometimes incomprehensible way of life - meeting Baldur's parents for the first time on their farm in Northern Iceland; learning to shop for unfamiliar food, and then how to cook and eat it; giving birth to her first son in a strange hospital with no one to talk to and Baldur following Icelandic tradition for fathers-in-waiting at home in bed. This is a warm and entertaining book, written by a perceptive, warmhearted woman."
