Motherhood, mixed media. A novel by Yrsa Þöll Gylfadóttiur.
Sirrí was a radical avant-garde artist in the latter half of the 20th century who died prematurely. Sirrí was not only controversial as an artist, but also for her lifestyle, not least after she abandoned her young children to pursue art. When her daughter, Kamilla, agrees to help the Reykjavík Art Museum prepare a retrospective exhibition about her mother, she finds herself in a dilemma, as the family has not fully recovered and the anguish does not diminish when Sirrí's letters to her lover are discovered. What kind of image will the nation get of her? Does an artist's private life have anything to do with others? Does the truth have anything to do with the exhibition?
