Páll Joensen
a wind-scoured village on the Faroe Islands
In a remote, wind-battered village in the Faroe Islands, Páll Joensen tends to his duties as the church organist with meticulous care. Having lost three fingers in a threshing-machine accident, he's adapted both his life and music around their absence, naming them Jógvan, Anna, and Tummas. The weight of every envelope bears significance, as each letter holds the potential to change the fragile world around him.
