Summary:
Karitas ist die jüngste Tochter der verwitweten Steinunn Olafsdóttir, die es geschafft hat, dass alle sechs Kinder - auch die Mädchen - die Schule besuchen konnten. Trotz der harten Lebensumstände um 1900 in Island entdeckt Karitas ihr künstlerisches Talent als Malerin. Doch als sie den gut aussehenden Sigmar kennenlernt, steht sie vor der folgenschwersten Entscheidung ihres Lebens. Kristín Marja Baldursdóttir lebt in Reykjavik. Die Autorin ist verheiratet und hat drei Töchter. Sie ist in Island eine der bekanntesten Journalistinnen und Schriftstellerinnen. Ihre vorherigen Titel sind alle im Krüger Verlag lieferbar: "Möwengelächter", "Kühl graut der Morgen" und "Hinter fremden Türen".
A novel about women and art. The story of Karitas who as a teenager moves with her family to the town of Akureyri from the countryside, because her mother decides that all her children should go to school. Life is not easy for a widow with six children, but her mother obtains her goal through hard work and a steadfast belief in the children and herself. In Akureyri Karitas encounters an upper class lady who gives her private drawing lessons and pays for her to study in a Copenhagen art school. When she returns after five years of studies she decides to get a job to earn some money that will allow her to work at her art, but this will prove an elusive goal after she meets a man named Sigmar.
