My second #translatedfromswedish book this year.
Doris‘ mother sends her to work at 13, unable to support both her children, offering the blessing quoted. After being a maid, Doris becomes a ‘live mannequin‘ and model in Paris. Then her mother dies and her sister Agnes arrives. And then the War begins.
When Doris and Agnes arrive in the US, they must find a way to survive.
