That's a lovely story :0)

That's a lovely story :0) Apart from the Earthquake. Mariyka is a true heroine with such gumption! I imagine her happily dancing the nights away with her happy and hunky husband. Hopefully, if she cared so little for conventions that she sat on...

the desolation of his job

Loved this :0) What a perfect Happy Ending! Maybe their love endured BECAUSE the author could not understand any Greenland language. Guessing the igloo builder spoke and read very good English so they could read such wonderful funny stories
