Description
Cold and poverty define Hanna Renstrom's childhood in remote northern Sweden and in 1904, at nineteen, she boards a ship for Australia in hope of a better life. But none of her hopes or fears prepares her for the life she will lead. After two brief marriages both leave her widowed, she finds herself the owner of a bordello in Portuguese East Africa, a world where colonialism and white colonists rule, where she is isolated within white society by her profession and her gender and, among the bordello's black prostitutes, by her color.
