Free
Elstad, Anne Karin: FriThe story is set in the 1960s, a period of challenging and far-reaching social changes. Julie has left the farm, her four children are scattered far and wide, and Julie finds it exhausting to follow them in their quest for liberation - political, cultural and psychological. When will she find time to think of herself?
The story ends with the EEC referendum in 1972 and with a Julie, now 72, with great plans for her own future. Free is a book about disintegration and change, loyalty and emancipation. Anne Karin Elstad paints a sharp and realistic picture of the people, the time and the milieu.
"I was completely absorbed by the world of which she writes ... compelling and eminently readable, [this book strikes] an optimistic and hopeful note."
