Growing up on a farm in early twentieth-century rural Iceland, Karitas Ólafsdóttir, 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.

Si incontrano una sera di ottobre, davanti a un teatro. Lui, rientrato da Londra, insegna recitazione a un gruppo di anziani. Lei lavora in un'agenzia di viaggi. Dal fascino indecifrabile di Teresa Nino è confuso e turbato. Starle accanto lo costringe a pensare, a farsi e a fare domande, che via via acquisiscono altezza e spessore. Al di là dell'attrazione fisica, coglie in lei un enorme mistero, portato con semplicità e scioltezza. L'uno guarda l'altra come in uno specchio, che di entrambi riflette e scompone le scelte, le ambizioni, le inquietudini.

C'era una volta il mito della Miami patinata, di una metropoli dalle tinte pastello, evocata dagli spot pubblicitari o dalle corse sulla Ferrari bianca di Miami Vice. Era un miraggio di palme e cocaina, spiagge e grattacieli, che nascondeva una città spettacolarmente depressa in cui il Sud della Florida sembrava trascolorare nella Cuba del Nord. Un avamposto occidentale dei Caraibi che aveva poco a che vedere con New York e Los Angeles, e molto da spartire con Caracas e Bogotá. Miami era una chimera tropicale, ricca di pettegolezzi e povera di memoria.

The purpose of this book is to encourage you to remember that there is nothing impossible for God.

Ruim vier eeuwen geleden zwermden Nederlandse schepen en hun bemanningen uit over de wereldzeeën. Ze voeren naar het noorden, over de Atlantische Oceaan naar het westen en rond Kaap Hoorn en voorbij Kaap de Goede Hoop naar Azië. Ze dreven handel, gingen de strijd aan met Europese concurrenten, onderwierpen goed- of kwaadschiks inheemse volken en stichtten nederzettingen en koloniën. Het vervoer van goederen en mensen via het water was in veel opzichten bepalend voor de ontwikkeling van scheepstypen, navigatiemiddelen en handelsnetwerken.
