As New. No Jacket. Size: 8vo-over 7? "-9? " tall; Type: Hardback First English Edition. Hardcover Book As New. No jacket. First published in Norway in 1948. Beautiful and lyrical translation from the Norwegian by Barbara Wilson. The story of three young women students exploring friendship and love at the University of Oslo in the spring of 1939. The story deals with shame and repression and the consequences of having to be ashamed of and to repress who one is. It does not have a conventionally happy ending but the narrator, Edle Hendriksen, comes through her struggle to understand what happened in the past not only with insight but with a growing self-acceptance. Ebba Haslund has managed to create a woman character who finally finds the courage to be honest, who finally begins to see what it might mean to love herself and to love other women. 134 pages. 8.75 x 5.5 inches. The Seal Press, Seattle, WA 1987.
