Product Description
Augusta Olsen is a woman with passions and desires who has inherited three things from her mother: a wayward heart, a talent for beekeeping and the very dubious gift of second sight. These are legacies just too big for a young wife who finds life on a remote farm with shy, awkward Karl and his detestable father almost unbearable. But farming husbands and wives are married to their land as much as to each other. From that kind of necessity, a different sort of love is made - and remade...
'The characterisation is excellent throughout and the novel abounds in fine vignettes of domestic life. Its evocation of humdrum lives illuminated by heroism is truly heart-warming'
