Red Dog Farm: a novel

Growing up on his family's cattle farm in Iceland, young Orri has gained an appreciation for the beauty in everyday things. But the outer world still beckons, so Orri leaves his mother and his taciturn father, Pabbi, to attend university in Reykjavik. Orri, feeling adrift at the end of his first semester, comes home. For the first time, Pabbi allows Orri to help him run the farm. Despite their conflicting attitudes, Orri and Pabbi must learn to work together. Meanwhile, Orri meets a kindred spirit on the internet: Mihan, a part-time student. Over time, their connection deepens. By year's end, Orri must decide what a future with Mihan would hold, if she'll have him.
