An engrossing novel about a young woman's coming of age in the early years of the 20th century, set in Sweden and southern Africa. Hanna struggles to regain a connection to a world that has been shattered by upheaval and loss. The language is quite plain and the narrative straightforward, yet coloured with subtle shades of myth and magic. This may not be to every reader's taste, but those who persevere will be rewarded.
