Isle Eklund lives in the cold and frozen, isolated Greenland. She translates books from French and Danish to English. She lives in an isolated cabin where she locks herself away with only daily visits to local cafe. It has been her refuge since her brother died. Isle’s one desire is to visit France, to the country of the language she loves.
Given the opportunity to translate a Provence troubadour poet’s work, Isle bravely requests two weeks there to learn the nuances of his words.
In Provence amid vibrant colors and a more vibrant language, she comes alive, warmed by the sun and the poet.
This is the story of a lonely isolated woman seeing life from a truly colorful perspective. The words on the page will draw you into another world as seen through Isle’s eyes.
