About this book
An arrival at a long-empty Norwegian estate brings a grieving widow and a capable Swedish housekeeper into the valley of Heimdal. Mrs. Astrid Hjelm has returned to her childhood home, while Susanna Björk takes charge of its household and farm servants. Fredrika Bremer sets their surroundings in careful detail: the wooden house, scattered cottages, a chapel across the river, and mountains enclosing the valley. Everyday duties and rival claims for Norway and Sweden give the opening its human scale.
The novel also looks beyond the household to the harsher northern region of Nordland. A conversation between Susanna and Alette leads into descriptions of difficult travel, fishing communities, storms, and local beliefs about giants and wandering spirits.
