Following Alberta and Jacob and Alberta and Freedom, this final volume of the semi-autobiographical Alberta Trilogy finds Alberta, now with a young child, In Paris just after the First World War. While her husband Sivert pursues a liaison with a Swedish painter, she falls in love with a French writer, a war veteran sympathetic to her creative needs. After a period of conflict Alberta returns to her native Norway, and there her independence becomes complete. With subtlety and insight, Sandel depicts the corrosion of a relationship against the background of the aftermath of war. Sandel has been compared with the likes of Jean Rhys and Colette, and the Alberta books have been hailed as early feminist classics.
