My ode to Capri
Live each day as if it were your last, in search of joy and beauty. When you find beauty, you want to be part of it forever.
My novel CAPRI DIEM is a celebration of Capri and of all those who embrace and love this majestic island.
The title Capri Diem, a play on the Latin Carpe Diem, reflects the philosophical spirit of the novel.
A LIFE BETWEEN PLACES
I was born and raised in Oslo, Norway. At twenty-one, I left for New York where I met my husband and began a life that would take me between countries and continents. I spent twenty years as a flight attendant with Pan American Airways and another twenty with Delta Air Lines, living over those years between New York, California, Capri and Norway.
The first time I arrived on Capri, I knew that one day I would want a home there. A few years later, I was able to make that dream a reality. Now retired, my husband and I live in Norway, but we still spend our summers on Capri, as we have for close to forty years.
Capridiem.net grew out of my long connection with the island and my wish to share a side of Capri that goes beyond conventional tourism.
Of all the places I have lived and loved,
Capri is where my soul belongs.
