This was a lovely novella. An author is in love with a girl named Victoria. Unfortunately her parents want her to marry for money. For a while he is engaged to a younger woman whose life he saved. However, Victoria is really the one for him despite the bad treatment she gives him. Sadly the book ends on a tragic note. This book seems like it's really simple but it speaks volumes more than more complicated works. I think it's one of Hamsun's best. This is my third time reading it over twenty five years.
