Brides of Midsummer
Author: Vilhelm Moberg
Publisher: Minnesota Historical Society Press
ISBN: 0873519353
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
The first English translation of an early and important work by Vilhem Moberg. For centuries, people have celebrated every Midsummer’s Eve at an ancient spring near a small Swedish village. On that special night, when unmarried men and women dance and some unusual activities are permitted, the Bridal Spring has special powers. Vilhelm Moberg introduces four musicians on the last day that each one will ever know: a curmudgeonly fiddler from the 1930s, a sad and conscientious key-harp player from the plague era of 1711, a ne’er-do-well who plays the flute in 1545, and a goat-horn blower from prehistoric times who, like the others, only seeks happiness with a woman. Binding their stories together is the voice of the Bridal Spring itself, tart and grudgingly compassionate—and slow to reveal its secret. Each progression backward in time reflects Moberg’s rich knowledge of folklore and shows the changes in everyday life in Sweden’s past. First published in 1946, before the Emigrants novels, The Brides of Midsummer is a complex, compelling journey through the arc of human life.

A Barbarian Who Must Lie When a prideful queen comes to his prison cell with an unbelievable proposal of marriage, Warrick of the Dead Lands is quick to accept ... but not merely to secure his freedom. Because he recognizes the powerful jewels the queen wears - jewels pilfered from the temple of a goddess, who unleashed her wrath upon a kingdom. His plan? Pretend to go along with Queen Elina until he can steal the jewels back, then use them to lift the goddess's curse. Except the queen isn't who Warrick assumes she is at first glance, and his deception might cost him everything... A Queen Who Must Die Betrayed by everyone she's ever loved, trusting no one, Elina has spent years searching for the warrior prophesied to overthrow the sorcerer who stole her throne ... and Warrick is the one warrior she's found whose description matches the prophecy. She doesn't want to marry a barbarian, but she's running out of time - the sickness ravaging her body means she'll be dead long before she sees home. Only the enchanted jewels she wears give her the strength to continue on ... and her new husband's touch offers the only pleasure she's ever known. But after a life spent running from those who betrayed her, Elina doesn't know whether to trust Warrick with her kingdom - or her heart...
