Set in an isolated fishing village in northern Norway, this novel chronicles one year in the life of 11-year-old Tora. A tragic legacy of the German occupation, illegitimate Tora is a social outcast. Worse, Tora also has to cope with the fear of her brutish stepfather and his sexual assaults. She consoles herself with lonely fantasies about her real father, with books, and with the friendship and support of a few village women. This proletarian feminist novel is about the victimization of women, but also about women's solidarity and power. Awarded a coveted Nordic prize, this is the first volume of a trilogy.

She saw that the cloudless sky was a miracle and that the gulls were putting on a show for her above the fish drying racks. Their cries made such lovely echoes in her head. She could hear the gulls crying whenever she wanted to, wherever she was. She carried those sounds with her.

And that the Lord, men and the Devil are in charge of war and things like that in this world. We women don't have that to be ashamed of. We're not the ones who have to hang our heads. We're the ones who have to see beyond lies and silence and support one another instead.
