TO SIBERIA.
Saint Paul, MN: Graywolf Press, 1998. Hardcover. 5 x 8 1/2, 245 pgs. As an unnamed young girl and her big brother, Jesper (who calls her Sistermine), grow up in rural Second World War-era Denmark, the two cope with distant parents, an eccentric extended family, and the cold wind. Jesper longs to go south to Morocco; Sistermine yearns for the plains of Siberia, foreshadowing lives that will diverge. The book builds up slowly, casting a spell of beauty and devastation that matches the bleak but dazzling climate that enshrouds Sistermine's young life. Very Good+ in Very Good+ DJ. Item #26954
