On Christmas Day a legendary storm tears across the Lövsjö district of Värmland, and with it comes upheaval for a clergy household. A motherless daughter, a loyal serving girl and a stepmother who rules by harshness share a Swedish home where folk belief, spinning-wheels, music and the dark waters of the Black Lake shape every life.
Warm, strange and rooted in the country of Gösta Berling, from the first woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. Download the free EPUB.
