Dinas bog by Herbjørg Wassmo
3.0
I watched "I am Dina" the first time when I was about 12 years old. I loved absolutely everything about it. Last year I bought the book, which I do not regret.
This is the story of the untamable Dina who lives in Norway in the 19th century. She does what she wants and never listens to any man. She caused her mother's death, is hated by her father, and marries an old man.
Her life is full of exciting - and horrifying - events, and she causes trouble here and there. She is not shy, not behaving like a woman - she is the seducer. And you will probably be seduced by her story too.
I 'only' gave the book 3 stars, because although I was seduced by the story, there were some passages that I had to skip because I thought it took the author forever to get on to the point.
