The Land of Hope. A novel by Kristín Steinsdóttir.
They come to Reykjavík on foot, two friends, hoping to find a good place to stay. They still have to start out doing laundry, salting fish and carrying coal – the kind of work that women have the option of doing to make ends meet. Life is hard work. However, they would rather work and manage themselves in the market town than be dependent on others in the countryside.
The Land of Hope is a Reykjavík story set in the second half of the 19th century, the story of a few common women who live together in a small hut and try to survive as best they can. Tragedies befall them, but they also know how to turn their lives around and smile at the world.
Kristín Steinsdóttir is a remarkable storyteller and has received much praise for her novels, not least the best-selling Ljósa. In this lively and captivating story, she tells the story of intriguing women who yearn to escape the shackles of poverty – and not just empty words!
