Fiction

A gripping tale of friendship and resilience, hope and disappointment and unusual ways to stay afloat in life’s tempestuous waters.

In the early decades of the last century, the prospects for a young girl in a small fjord in Iceland were limited to a life of marriage, motherhood, and labouring in the footsteps of her foremothers. However, Soley’s path diverges from the expected as she embarks on a journey towards new horizons and progressive ideals. Fate intervenes, whisking her away from the fjord and thrusting her into a realm of shifting times and transformative ideas. When faced with the solitude of raising a newborn, she enters into a fateful agreement that brings both liberation and constraints. Soley’s indomitable spirit carries her through the tempestuous waves of setbacks and hardships, buoyed by the joy of living and the steadfast support of loyal friends. Amidst the trials, moments of contentment shimmer tantalizingly close, offering glimpses of elusive happiness.
