It is Norway, 1799, and when Gertine’s mother calls off her sister’s wedding, days away, a family rift erupts. Gertine struggles to understand and begins asking questions. She journeys to meet the people with clues to her mother’s complex past, and gains so much more than the truth.
“I love this story. Its care of characters and details of history will stay with you long after the last chapter” -- Jane Kirkpatrick, author of Beneath the Bending Skies
Mari Matthias gleaned the bones of this story from her family lore. Native to the Pacific Northwest, she lives with her family in Underwood, Washington. This is her debut novel.
