grade, even though his father wanted him to stay in school.
Jóannes meets Marjun before he leaves, so
now it is difficult for him to go.
Life on board the longliner is tough, and
he is tormented by longing and jealousy when he thinks about Marjun. When he
returns home, Jóannes feels like a stranger, he has changed, and time did not
stand still.
