Infos

In Edwin Doidge's novel 'Nilda', the reader is transported to the remote Icelandic settlement of Gimli in the early 20th century. The book unfolds as a tale of hardship, resilience, and the enduring human spirit amidst harsh natural landscapes. Doidge's prose is noted for its vivid descriptions of the Icelandic wilderness, capturing the beauty and brutality of the setting with equal precision. The narrative style is introspective and lyrical, drawing the reader into the inner lives of the characters as they navigate personal struggles and collective challenges. Edwin Doidge, a descendant of Icelandic immigrants, drew inspiration for 'Nilda' from family stories and historical accounts of settlement life. His deep connection to his heritage and the land shines through in the novel, adding layers of authenticity to the vivid storytelling. Doidge's background as a historian also informs his nuanced portrayal of the cultural dynamics and societal structures that shape the characters' lives. I highly recommend 'Nilda' to readers who appreciate historical fiction that immerses them in a specific time and place, while exploring universal themes of human experience. Doidge's lyrical prose and rich storytelling make this novel a compelling and enlightening read for anyone interested in Icelandic history and literature.
