Sister Agnieszka is a Carmelite nun, who came to Iceland in 1984 together with few other nuns from Poland to create the one and only Catholic monastery on the Protestant island. In her account sister Agnieszka tells the details about the circumstances of her arrival to somehow "exotic” Iceland and her everyday life in the monastery in Hafnarfjoróur on the background of the changing mentality of the inhabitants of the island. She gives a lot of attention to the large group of Polish migrants who came to Iceland during last two decades mostly to work in the fish industry and the Icelandic and Protestant surroundings of the monastery. Sister Agnieszka repeatedly emphasizes the great friendliness and goodwill that sister get from the Icelanders.
