Die Eismalerin: Roman | Kristín Marja Baldursdóttir
5 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
Karitas ist die jüngste Tochter der verwitweten Steinunn Olafsdóttir, die es geschafft hat, dass alle sechs Kinder - auch die Mädchen - die Schule besuchen konnten. Trotz der harten Lebensumstände um 1900 in Island entdeckt Karitas ihr künstlerisches Talent als Malerin. Doch als sie den gut aussehenden Sigmar kennenlernt, steht sie vor der folgenschwersten Entscheidung ihres Lebens. »›Die Eismalerin‹ ist ein wunderbares und spannendes Portrait einer tapferen Frau sowie einer ganzen Nation. Und eine Liebesgeschichte der ergreifendsten Art.« Neue Presse »Kristín Marja Baldursdóttir erzählt von Island vor 100 Jahren so lebendig, dass man meint, mittendrin zu sein: Man riecht förmlich Meer und Fisch - und findet’s großartig.« Für Sie

Mehso-so

So, I finished this one. It started off very interesting but became more & more difficult to read. Seems like the author did not know where to let the main character move / develop to. The anticipated end could have come 200 pages earlier.
Now I‘m facing a dilemma: Should I read the second part, which has been sitting on my shelf for some time now, even though I did not like the first one so much?

This novel talks about a young girl trying to make it as an artist. The interesting thing is that her work gets described and somehow becomes part of the plat. I really like the idea. 😊

On my way back to Cairo while reading about Iceland. This is where I would have been during the Easter break if the year had been a regular one. 🙈

Early morning read - if the weather isn‘t changing, I will be ending up reading all day. 😊
