The Story of Katrine tells the story of a young Greenlandic woman who falls in love with a Danish craftsman, who works in Greenland over a summer. When he returns to Denmark, Katrine follows him because she thinks they should get married, having had their child. It will be a big disappointment for her, but she stays in Denmark!
A dramatic and sad tale of cultural unity and oppression of women. This story, which is fictionalized here,
is unfortunately not unknown for Greenlanders in Denmark.
First edition in English.
