Published 1999
I am on page thirteen, and haven't really gotten to know any of the characters. The book opens and we meet Ingrid and her daughter Astrid. They don't have a very normal mother-daughter relationship and Astrid constantly feels guilty for tying her mother down. Ingrid is a beautiful poet, and somewhat of a free spirit. Astrid obviously looks up to her mother, but feels like an obligation to her mother. One of the many quotes that portray Astrids love for her mother is, "I thought of my mother as Queen Christina, cool and sad, eyes trained on some distant horizon. That was where she belonged, in furs and palaces of rare treasures..." (p11, Fitch).
The plot hasn't really extended beyond developing a setting yet.
