The Brahmadells
by Jóanes Nielsen
An epic family—and national—saga, The Brahmadells spans from the mid-nineteenth century until the 1980s, blending genres and narrative styles to capture not only the tribulations of a particular family, but the history of the Faroe Islands as a whole. Labeled as the Faroese Moby-Dick," it's one of the first contemporary Faroese titles to be published in English translation.
