Author Sophie Van der Linden slips into the mind of Swedish painter Anna Boberg, who sets off to paint in the Lofoten Islands.

Every winter for the last thirty years, Anna has set off alone for several weeks to paint the landscapes of the Lofoten Islands, capturing their subtle variations in light. Every year, this wife of a famous architect escapes Swedish society to answer the call of these Arctic lands. As she grows older, she hopes to produce the one exceptional painting that will finally earn her the recognition of her peers. Inspired by the work of Anna Boberg (1864-1935), Sophie Van der Linden delves into the painter's inner self, probing her expectations and ambitions, and reviving her memories.
