Johannes, the miller’s son, roams the woods and islands near the great house where Victoria, daughter of the lord of the manor, is growing up. Their childhood friendship turns into a love neither can openly claim, divided by class, pride and her family’s fortunes, while Johannes becomes a poet and writes the longing he cannot speak.
A short, piercing love story by the Nobel laureate, as fresh as when it was written in 1898. Download the free EPUB.
