Translated by Elisabeth Kallick Dyssegaard.
Tink (The Crow-Girl, Eidi) believes it's his fault that the family is barely making it through the winter on a dwindling supply of potatoes. Then Burd, a drunkard he rescues, teaches him to fish, and the bounty sustains them all. Once again Bredsdorff fully immerses readers in her achingly beautiful evocation of the rugged coastal Denmark setting.
