Heartfelt ... It’s fitting that Red Dog Farm is being released in France as Dans Nos Pierres et Dans Nos Os (In Our Stones and in Our Bones), because that’s exactly where it’s coming from ... Miller’s evocative depiction of life in rural Iceland is note-perfect.
Though the conclusion ties things up a bit too neatly, Miller’s earthy realism effectively conveys the toll farming takes, especially on Pabbi. The result is a charming novel of desire and identity in a small community.
