"Our nearest neighbouring country required a couple of days' rough crossing. I was isolated from my real family, both geographically and emotionally. There was no quick way for me to get out of our archipelago and I came to realise that except for Sigrid, no one from the outside would come to visit me. My isolation was complete." - Excerpt from the book
