Opportunity knocks—temptation kicks the door in. A horrific accident drives tech-savvy billionaire Quinn Huntington to Welcome Bay in the tropical north of New Zealand. No one can reach him there. At least that's his plan. He doesn't count on having Goldie Royale sashay in and destroy his precious isolation. Goldie owns the neighboring property—a run-down villa held together by peeling paint and cobwebs. Her husband and son died five years ago. Since then, she wandered far and wide. Now she's back to reclaim her home and her life. This is her Eden and he's the snake. Quinn believes a relationship isn't worth the heartache, but Goldie brings him to life. Can he let go of past hurts and love her? She vowed never to be vulnerable to love again—can she trust Quinn with her future?

From the Nobel Prize winner comes a captivating novel about an idealistic Icelandic farmer who journeys to Mormon Utah and back in search of paradise. • "Full of an earthy poetry...a style wonderfully wise and entirely Scandinavian in its combination of magic and reality." —The New York Times Book Review • With an introduction by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of A Thousand Acres. The quixotic hero of this long-lost classic is Steinar of Hlidar, a generous but very poor man who lives peacefully on a tiny farm in nineteenth-century Iceland with his wife and two adoring young children. But when he impulsively offers his children's beloved pure-white pony to the visiting King of Denmark, he sets in motion a chain of disastrous events that leaves his family in ruins and himself at the other end of the earth, optimistically building a home for them among the devout polygamists in the Promised Land of Utah. By the time the broken family is reunited, Laxness has spun his trademark blend of compassion and comically brutal satire into a moving and spellbinding enchantment, composed equally of elements of fable and folkore and of the most humble truths.
