From one of Norway's best-loved writers comes a charming story of peasant life in the 19th Century. Ovvind Thoreson is born amongst the subsistence farmers of Scandinavia. Happy and content as a child, he is unaware of his low status in society until he falls in love with Marist, who is above him socially and thus beyond his reach romantically. Unwilling to give up his feelings for Marist, he embarks on a struggle to better himself so they can be together. With an unaffected style of writing and tremendous respect for the people he depicts, Nobel laureate Bjornson creates a moving portrayal of an entire way of life.
