The tension between financial security and physical danger experienced by Norwegian fishermen. The fear and defiance triggered by the Nazi occupation of 1940-1945. Vivid descriptions of daily life and special occasions in Norwegian villages. Mouthwatering descriptions of traditional foods\, some with recipes. \nFirst person stories of successful and failed attempts to emigrate to America. True stories lyrically written accompanied by beautifully restored photographs create nostalgic images on every page. \nWe would love for you to join us for this meet and greet program.
