'Fear, rage, love, resentment: the full range of human emotion is here .

Lose yourself in this tumultuous Swedish family saga, introduced by Sarah Moss ('a masterpiece')

Judit is stubborn and singular, distant and unyielding. She is called Queen.

Her realm is a windswept farm on a misty Swedish coastline.When she is nine, her dying mother places Judit's brother Viktor in her arms, and the two are bonded for life. Together with their silent brother, Albert, they forge a precarious family. But Judit has her secrets; she dreams amidst the salt spray. And when Viktor emigrates to America, the ground beneath her feet forever shifts.

Translated into English for the first time, Queen (1964)is a visionary family saga: a mythic epic in miniature, mystical and anarchic. One of the greatest Swedish novelists of all time, Birgitta Trotzig casts another worldly light across the souls of her characters - and her readers.
