They were Norwegians but I like to compare Rolvaag with Hamsun. Rolvaag 
wrote 'Giants in the Earth' about the Norwegians in the Dakotas in the 
1870s. He had emigrated and stayed in the US.

Hamsun spent a few years in America in the 1880s but went back. 'Hunger' 
and some of his early works were a little strange but 'Growth of the Soil' 
is set in rural Norway. There are many parallels to trying to make a life 
in rural Dakota.


'Giants in the Earth' follows Per Hansa and his wife, Beret. Per really 
wants to make a new life in America; Beret really wants to go home. She 
eventually goes more or less insane. I don't know how well she would have 
done in rural Norway either.
