Excerpt from In Castle and Colony
There were no women for the little Agneta to watch, for these all walked behind. The tiny, child mourner, led by the tall, dark-eyed cavalier, appeared at the head of this division of the pro cession, and close behind her came the stately lady who wore her linen robes in queenly style, and needed no care from the gentleman appointed as her escort. Other women followed, also clad in the Spotless linen robes of mourning, and behind these more immediate relatives came a goodly line of women friends, testifying their sympathy and respect by' their presence at the funeral rites. The pro cession was further augmented by many coaches, some grand and gay, as befitted the wealthy, some old and dilapidated like the fortunes of their owners.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book opens a fascinating window into life in Sweden nearly four hundred years ago. It tells the story of two women in the wake of a devastating loss - Agneta, a young girl bound by tradition and duty, and her mother, whose choices in the face of anguish bring her into conflict with the man set to inherit her wealth and become her daughter's guardian. The author weaves a tale of suspense and intrigue that places the complexities of female experience and the realities of 17th-century Swedish society under a microscope. The novel explores the struggle between familial duty and self-determination, and how the roles society assigns to women can clash with the realities of their desires and intellect. Through its rich characters and immersive narrative, this book sheds light on a little-known period of history and offers insights into the universal human experience of love, loss, and the quest for identity.
