Kniven i Elden by Ingeborg Arvola

This is the story of a woman, around 1860, living up norht in Sweden, as non maried and with two kids. She decides to move to Norway to esacape the shame that the church and the society want her to carry because of her two kids outside a marriage. So she moves. She gets herself in some relationship that will show that these times were hard and unfair for women (really?). I’m stricked by her naivity, even if as the same time, I can’t help to think that she should have been helped by other who understood better.
