This Swiss author writes about Kathrine, born and raised in a village on a fjord in Finnmark. She is a sensitive Sami-Norwegian woman in her late 20s who finds few outlets for her desires.
With a son from an early marriage, she has drifted into a second loveless marriage. From it, she runs away, cutting loose her moorings and setting off in search of herself, mostly through sex.
The novel was translated by Michael Hofmann.
