About this Event

Welcome author and translator Barbara Sjoholm to the Readings Gallery as she shares her latest historical fiction book, The Reindeer of Chinese Gardens!


Set in Port Townsend in the late 1800s against a background of Chinese immigration, the Yukon Gold Rush, and a group of Sámi reindeer herders recruited to supply the miners, The Reindeer of Chinese Gardens is the riveting story of Norwegian-born Dagny Bergland, who learns to steer a new course in a new country.


Barbara Sjoholm is an author and translator from Norwegian and Danish whose books include the illustrated history, From Lapland to Sápmi: Collecting and Returning Sámi Craft and Culture; The Palace of the Snow Queen: Winter Travels in Lapland and Sápmi and The Pirate Queen: In Search of Grace O'Malley and Other Women of the Sea. She has won grants and awards from the National Endowment for the Arts and the American Scandinavian Foundation. Her essays and travel articles have appeared in The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, and Smithsonian, among other publications.
