Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Lose yourself in this tumultuous Swedish family saga, introduced by Sarah Moss ('a masterpiece')In these parts, they called her Queen. And she was queen of rags, of sagging mouldering roofs, of nothing.On a bleak, windswept farm on the coast of rural Sweden, where the misty white light is as 'mute as the blind milk of membrane around an extinguished eye', beneath the oppressive silence, the salt spray and the grind of daily farmwork, a passionate, yearning, unspoken human drama takes place.At the centre of this story is Judit Lindgren, known as the 'Queen', strong as a whip, stately and stern. She holds her little realm tight, eking out a hard life, buttoning her emotions, dealing with the inadequacies of her menfolk, until the surprise arrival of a Polish widow from New York upends her carefully balanced world and offers the possibility of redemption.'Fear, rage, love, resentment: the full range of human emotion is here . . . A story fuelled by inevitability and cold beauty.' Sarah Moss Lose yourself in this tumultuous Swedish family saga, introduced by Sarah Moss ('a masterpiece').

Paperback. Condition: Good. Long-awaited rediscovery of visionary Swedish writer Birgitta Trotzig and her mythic, modernist classic, Queen Birgitta Trotzig's 1964 novella is the story of a girl named Judit who is stubborn and singular, distant and unyielding. She has a love of lilies. She is called Queen. Her entire world exists within Bäck, a village in the south of Sweden so named because a brook bends through it. At the age of nine, Judit's mother falls ill during childbirth and passes Judit the strong little body of her brother Viktor. A sharp gleam springs forth from Viktor's pale-blue infant eyes, and the two are bonded for life. Viktor and Judit, along with their wordless brother Albert (one who prefers the warm silence of animals), form a precarious family. In dark and mystical waves of language, Judit's inner life is awakened to the reader. She has her secrets. The Queen prizes her alias like a precious gemstone; she dreams one day that the master gardener at Trolle Ljungby Castle will select her very own flower bulbs for planting; and she holds suspicions like hot stones to her heart. When Viktor decides to emigrate to the United States, the ground beneath Judit's feet forever shifts. The English-language discovery of Birgitta Trotzig, one of the greatest Swedish writers of all time, is long overdue. Her dark, spiritual writings construct a truth and vision all her own. Trotzig's characters are ordinary and troubled, their lives barren and merciless, but an otherworldly light sweeps across them, making them stand with spectacular clarity.…
