More info An epic novel about female strength and indomitable elements of harsh northern nature. Norway, 1617. Twenty-year-old Maren stands on a cliff that drops into the sea and looks out at the stormy sea. Forty fishermen, including her father and brother, drowned in the salt water, leaving Vardø Island without men. Three years later, Absalom Cornet, a witch hunter who burned women at the stake in the northern islands, arrives here from Scotland. His young wife is with him. And while Ursa does not get tired of admiring the independence and strength of Maren and her friends, Absalom is only more convinced that this place is mired in sin, which means it should disappear. «Inspired by the real devastating storm that struck Vardo in 1617, this story is about widows who fell victim to a witch-hunt on a small Norwegian island.» — The Guardian.
