Time for marathon reading again. Next up is Sara Lidman's second novel, Hjortronlandet. The book, which became the talk of Norran's letters pages when it was published in 1955, is a serious and burlesque story about colorful people and families.
We get to know Claudette, Franz and Frida, Märit, the Nordmarkarna and the Skrattars. Characters who in the novel become multifaceted human beings, made up of good and evil, of pitifulness and sometimes a little greatness.
Those who read during the day are Skellefte residents, each with their own dialect, reading about paltkok and pneumonia. About love, loan debts and childbirth.
In Swedish.
