Set in a medieval Scandinavian backdrop, it traces the life of Kristiina, navigating the complexities of her new life as a wife. The book delves into themes of domesticity, societal expectations, and personal struggles, exploring Kristiina's inner turmoil and her relationships with those around her. The opening of the novel introduces Kristiina and her husband Erlend as they return to their home, Husaby, after their wedding ceremony. Kristiina grapples with feelings of nausea from seasickness, and a sense of dread looms over her as she contemplates her new life and the expectations that come with it. The narrative provides insights into her character: she feels a mix of emotions—joy for her marriage to Erlend but also anxiety about the challenges ahead, particularly the state of their household and her responsibilities as an empress. As they arrive at Husaby, Kristiina observes the dilapidation of the estate and anticipates the hard work required to manage it while fearing public perception and her father's disappointment. Ultimately, the opening sets the stage for Kristiina's journey of love, perseverance, and self-discovery amidst the difficulties of her environment. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
