Karitas Untitled
Seattle: Amazon Crossing, 2022. First edition. Hardcover. First edition stated, first edition in English translation from the original Icelandic. Fine, fresh, unused copy in equally fine dust jacket. Color illustrated hardcovers. 402 pp. Growing up on a farm in early 20th century rural Iceland, Karitas Olafsdottir yearns for a new life. But she is powerless against the fateful turns of real life, forced to act as dutiful daughter, loving mother, and fisherman's wife, and struggles to be what she is meant to be. Spanning decades against a breathtaking historical canvas, this book is a complex and immersive portrait of an artist's conflict with love, family, nature and a country unaccustomed to an untraditional woman.
