| 520 | |a Birgitta Trotzig's 1964 novella is the story of a girl named Judit who is stubborn and singular, distant and unyielding. She has a love of lilies. She is called Queen. Her entire world exists within Bäck, a village in the south of Sweden so named because a brook bends through it. At the age of nine, Judit's mother falls ill during childbirth and passes Judit the strong little body of her brother Viktor. A sharp gleam springs forth from Viktor's pale-blue infant eyes, and the two are bonded for life. Viktor and Judit, along with their wordless brother Albert (one who prefers the warm silence of animals), form a precarious family. In dark and mystical waves of language, Judit's inner life is awakened to the reader. She has her secrets. The Queen prizes her alias like a precious gemstone; she dreams one day that the master gardener at Trolle Ljungby Castle will select her very own flower bulbs for planting; and she holds suspicions like hot stones to her heart. When Viktor decides to emigrate to the United States, the ground beneath Judit's feet forever shifts. -- |c Provided by publisher. | ||
