Hemsöborna
By August Strindberg
Carlsson, a smooth-talking farmhand from Värmland, arrives on the island of Hemsö to take charge of the widow Flod's neglected farm, and soon has his eye on the widow herself. Strindberg's comic and finally sombre novel of the Stockholm archipelago follows the work, fishing, feasts and family quarrels among people who live by the sea.
Summary written with Claude Opus 5.5.
