Charlotte Lwenskld

A curse rests on the Lwenskld family, as narrated in The Lwenskld Ring. Charlotte Lwenskld is the tale of the following generations, a story of psychological insight and social commentary, and of the complexities of a mother-son relationship. Charlotte is in love with Karl-Arthur both have some Lwenskld blood. Their young love is ill fated; each goes on to marry another. How we make our life 'choices' and what evil forces can be at play around us is beautifully and ironically depicted by Selma Lagerlf, who was in her sixties when she wrote this tour de force with the lightest imaginable touch.
