Description
Set against the cold natural beauty of Michigan’s Upper Penninsula, Bone Soup and a Lapland Wizard is the tale of two retired loggers: Rakko, the irascible bachelor–part wizard, it seems, and part madman–and his friend Paavo, old before his years and struggling with his love for his wife and adopted son. To save his friend, Rakko devises a plan to return to Finland, and the pair set sail across Lake Superior in a makeshift Viking whaler. Told in the terse, lyric style of the Scandanavian masters, Bone Soup and a Lapland Wizard is the story of conflict between the Old World and the New, the mythic and the modern.
