Hanna's Daughters |
Another Swedish novel - this one follows the popular pattern of looking at the lives of three generations of women in a family, also tracing the self-discovery of the present-day character as she discovers her grandmother's story and finds familiar themes in their lives. A fascinating insight into the lives of mountain peasants at the turn of the twentieth century and their incredible (it seems now) self-reliance and resilience.
