Description

Beautiful, eccentric, and fiercely unpredictable, Dina grows up carrying a secret that stains every relationship: at five years old, she accidentally causes her mother’s death. Blamed by her father and cast out, she is forced to navigate a life shaped by grief, suspicion, and the relentless need to be understood. Spanning decades, this sweeping epic follows Dina from her early banishment through a turbulent marriage at sixteen and into a world where love, loyalty, and survival collide. With Herbjørg Wassmo’s vivid, emotionally charged storytelling, the novel explores fate versus responsibility, the cost of stigma, and the stubborn, generous force of a woman determined to write her own life—no matter how stormy the weather.
