Nesje is a recent widower with a young son, working as a haymaker on an estate in the town of Molde and steadily clearing his own small holding. Then he meets Serianna--an outsider, looking for work, who takes him fishing and smokes a pipe. Soon the two fall in love and marry, and Nesje begins to dream of a prosperous future. But prosperity is hard to come by. Some Norwegians--including Serianna's spirited sister, Gjertine--are immigrating to the American West, attracted by the glimmer of land and commerce. One of Nesje's sons follows, while another moves to the city and becomes a wealthy merchant, and another is adopted by Serianna's childless brother and sister-in-law. In Norway and in America, however, the turn of the century is approaching: mechanization is superseding skilled labor, the moneyed classes are growing ever more powerful, and sacrifices don't always deliver what was promised."--Back cover. 547 $a First published in Norwegian as SlaÌttekar i himmelen. 650 0 $a Families $z Norway $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Small cities $z Norway $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Nineteenth century $v Fiction. 651 0 $a United States $x Emigration and immigration $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Chace, Tara, $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117014433.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DE55DCCEEE0211ECABFB385646ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
