Kristin and Erlendur and all of their seven sons end up at Jørundur’s Farm. So you would expect peace to be kept. But emotionally no calm exists between them. That is simply how they are.  

The narrative style and tension are kept through this third volume.  

And this is where Kristin’s and Erlendur’s story ends. Despite how bitterness and pride have shattered their relationship and driven them apart, love still keeps them in its grip.  

Finally, carnal and divine love cross paths in Kristin. She understands how life in its grandeur is woven together; she sees the threads of the fabric of life’s path, the threads that give life a highborn purpose.
