If Bjartur of Summerhouses, the book's protagonist, is an ordinary sheep farmer, his flinty determination to free himself is genuinely heroic and, at the same time, terrifying and bleakly comic.
Having spent eighteen years in humiliating servitude, Bjartur wants nothing more than to raise his flocks unbeholden to any man. But Bjartur's spirited daughter wants to live unbeholden to him. What ensues is a battle of wills that is by turns harsh and touching, elemental in its emotional intensity and intimate in its homely detail. Vast in scope and deeply rewarding, Independent People is a masterpiece.

Worth buying. Makes reading in low light so much easier.
Bought this for my sister who loves reading before bedtime. She absolutely loves it! The light quality is very smooth. highly recommended.
I carry this with every book I take on the go. It’s slim, lightweight, and clips easily into my book. The adjustable brightness modes are excellent, especially during travel and study sessions.
This little LED lamp has changed my late night reading routine. The light is soft on my eyes and bright enough to read comfortably without disturbing anyone. Love the rechargeable feature no batteries to replace.
Great Book.
