The ending was so good AAAA
reflective medium-paced

I learned so much from this story about courage, fortitude, redemption and oh I am so glad I didn't live in Sweden in the 1800's.

The book series is about Kristina and Karl Oskar Nilsson and in this the have emigrated to America. A great Swedish classic that beautifully shows the life and struggles of people searching for a better life in the later 1800s - early 1900. Not quite sure when this was set. Liked Vilhelm Moberg way of writing characters, it made them an honest depiction on wanting a better life but also missing the home they left.
