A novel by Nobel-Prize winner Halldor Laxness. This story is one of the gems in Laxness' collection. A dependable young servant girl loses her way on the heath lands of the country parish where she has lived all her life. Like many of Laxness' characters, she is a person who believes in and remains true to herself in a world being fragmented by modern tastes and values. Her individual struggle is set against the background of a farming community that simply will not change and give way to the new age. English translation by Magnús Magnússon. Illustrated by Snorri Sveinn Fridriksson. Published: 1987. Hardcover with 23 pages.
