Official synopsis Publisher
If one theme unifies these eleven tales, it is that of longing. Written after her return from Kenya and during the dark days of the Nazi occupation, they derive their themes and locales from Isak Dinesen’s childhood in Denmark. Luminous, introspective, full of ‘bottomless wisdom’ and poetic feeling, they were the author’s own favourite work.
