Asta Nørregaard receives a prestigious commission at the age of 28—the first woman to do so—but is met with criticism and later little recognition. While her colleague Harriet Backer is celebrated, Nørregaard remains in the shadows and does not have her first major exhibition until the age of 72. The novel portrays the cost of art, loneliness, and exclusion, but also strength and determination. The Necessity of Studying Nature is Elin Tinholt’s second novel.
