Bookstore Reading from The Reindeer of Chinese Gardens

Local Northwest author Barbara Sjoholm reads from her new historical novel, 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 from Lapland to supply the miners, the novel tells the riveting story of Norwegian-born Dagny Bergland, who learns to steer a new course in a new country.
