Where the journey ends
The bestsellers Hvor vinden vender and Hvor ilden brænder have cemented Jesper Bugge Kold’s place in the hearts of Danish readers. Now comes the gripping conclusion.
1888: At Johanne and Anders’ wedding, her family is gathered for the last time on the Nebraska prairie. The children are growing up, and one by one they begin to leave the farm. Signe seeks her fortune in the big city of Philadelphia, Anton struggles for his faith, and Helga wants to search for her own family.
Yet nothing is more important to Johanne than ensuring that the farm can stay in the family once she is no longer here. But to Johanne’s great regret, neither of her two sons wishes to carry on the family farm, and so she must find another way. But nothing goes as she had imagined.
Hvor rejsen ender is the third and final volume in the story of Johanne and her family’s emigration to America. It is a story about family ties, about love, and not least, about courage.
