Where the Winds Dwell

Gudmundsson brings together past and present in this tragic story of the historic journey to "Nýja Island," the world's largest Icelandic community outside of Iceland.

Escaping the poverty of Iceland for the promised riches of Canada, the immigrants are faced with many hardships before they reach Winnipeg and their home to be: New Iceland. The Promised Land comes at a high price for some, who lose all they hold dear for a chance to escape poverty.

Written as a letter from a father to his daughter, Where the Winds Dwell is compassionate and real.
