A portrait of an artist trapped by convention and expectations but
longing for the chaos that can set her free. Growing up on a farm
in early twentieth-century rural Iceland, Karitas Jonsdottir, one
of six siblings, yearns for a new life. An artist, Karitas has a
powerful calling and is determined to never let go of her true
being, one unsuited for the conventional. But she is powerless
against the fateful turns of real life and all its expectations of
women. Pulled back time and again by design and by chance to the
Icelandic countryside-as dutiful daughter, loving mother, and
fisherman's wife-she struggles to thrive, to be what she was meant
to be. Spanning decades and set against a breathtaking historical
canvas, Karitas Untitled, an award-winning classic of Icelandic
literature, is a complex and immersive portrait of an artist's
conflict with love, family, nature, and a country unaccustomed to
an untraditional woman-but most of all, with herself and the
creative instincts she has no choice but to follow.
