"Onafhankelijke mensen is een moderne IJslandse saga van ongewone kracht en schoonheid, waarin de bevolking van het noordelijke eiland wakker wordt geschud door de grootse beloftes van de twintigste eeuw. Tegen de stroom in probeert de IJslandse schapenboer Bjart van het Zomerhuis zijn zelfstandigheid te handhaven. Na achttien jaar in dienst van een lokale rentmeester te hebben gewerkt, wil hij niets liever dan zijn eigen kudde schapen hoeden. Alles zet hij daarvoor op het spel, zelfs zijn eigen bestaan en dat van zijn naasten. Slechts één persoon ontziet hij: zijn stiefdochter Asta. Bron: Flaptekst, uitgeversinformatie."
