Synopsis
The final volume of the Alberta Trilogy finds Alberta, now with a young child, in Paris immediately following the First World War.
Her marriage already failing, Alberta is seduced by a French writer and First World War veteran, sympathetic to her creative needs. Still she finds her life unfulfilling and soon returns to Norway where she hopes to become fully independent. With subtlety and insight, Sandel depicts the corrosion of a relationship against the background of tumultuous events. Sandel has been compared with the likes of Charlotte Brontë, Jean Rhys and Virginia Woolf, and the Alberta novels have been hailed as classics of bildungsroman and feminist literature.
Translated from the Norwegian by Elizabeth Rokkan (The Ice Palace)

About the Author
Cora Sandel was born in Oslo in 1880, but grew up in a small provincial town in northern Norway. She originally intended to become a painter and went to live in Paris when she was twenty-five, eventually returning to Norway fifteen years later. Her experiences are described in much of her trilogy featuring her alter ego, Alberta. The Alberta trilogy has long been recognised as one of the outstanding achievements of Norwegian literature, and the trilogy itself is seen as one of the landmark novel sequences of twentieth century literature.
