Karitas untitled

Kristín Marja Baldursdóttir (author.). Roughton, Philip, (translator.).

Summary: Growing up on a farm in early twentieth-century rural Iceland, Karitas Ólafsdóttir, one of six siblings, yearns for a new life. But she is powerless against the fateful turns of real life and all its expectations of women. Pulled back time and again by design and by chance to the Icelandic countryside--as dutiful daughter, loving mother, and fisherman's wife--she struggles to thrive, to be what she was meant to be.
