A strange but credible tale of a young Norwegian girl who has always lived north of the Arctic Circle in a remote seaside port. Although she has a job and a young child, she is terribly lonely. After two unsuccessful marriages she begins to discover the outside world and the feelings within herself which she has always suppressed. The simplicity of the author's style is almost provocative, but you feel he has touched upon a universal truth.
