Title: Rosa Candida - Audur Ava Olafsdottir - book
Summary :
In the world of twenty-two-year-old Arnljótur, it's all about cuttings, grasses, and above all, her pride and joy, the eight-petaled Rosa candida roses . Her passion in life: the garden and flowers. One night, in a greenhouse, Arnljótur and Anna fall in love. They barely know each other, yet their lives will be changed forever because, in Iceland, girls are indeed born among roses...
Born in 1958 in Reykjavík, Audur Ava Ólafsdóttir is a professor of art history and director of the University of Iceland Museum. Rosa Candida is her first book translated into French, and has received widespread acclaim from both the public and critics.
"So much delicacy on each page borders on the miracle of this Rosa candida , which one leafs through believing one is dreaming, but no. This book exists and it must be read."
