      About This Book

      This historical novel explores the lives of the women in a rural family living in straitened circumstances in 1840s Norway But the book explores the women of the family: the heroic Ma, who struggles to keep up appearances and make ends meet; eldest daughter Thinka, forced to renounce her love and marry an older and wealthier suitor; and younger daughter, Inger-Johanna, talented, beautiful, and destined to make a splendid match - but will it make her happy? With great empathy and affection for each member of the family, Lie evokes the tragedy of hopes dashed by the harsh social and economic realities of the day.
