Author Name
Birgitta Hjalmarson (Author)
Birgitta and her husband live north of San Francisco, in a house on a hill, overlooking the ocean. When not writing, she walks along the bluff and up into the forest, alone or with friends. Tutoring local children keeps her grounded. She studied Swedish, English and German Literature, earning Master's Degrees from the University of Lund, Sweden, and the University of California at Davis. While covering the San Francisco art beat as a contributing editor for Art & Auction in New York, she also wrote Artful Players, a book on early California art, published by Balcony Press. Turning to fiction, she drew on memories of her native Sweden, where she spent her childhood summers in a village much like the one we encounter in Fylgia. Sarah Orne Jewett's words to Willa Cather still hold true: "Of course, one day you will write about your own country. In the meantime, get all you can. One must know the world so well before one can know the parish."Read more about this authorRead less about this author

The First World War rages on the continent. Hidden in the forest of Sweden, a country church gleams in the sun.

Anna, a young woman, sits in the front pew. The vicar pauses to wipe his brow.

After the sermon, Anna hurries away, black-clad, winding in and out among the pines. Banks run steep into a lake, and the cry of an osprey pierces the air.

Fredrik, her lover, waits in a deserted cabin. Sixty years later, Anna gives refuge to a young niece, whose marriage is falling apart.

Fredrik is long since dead. She still blames him for the death of their child, yet she misses his scent that would linger on her skin, like the moon that shone on the snow and colored it blue.

Each day she visits the child’s grave, an old woman in a beret and a tweed jacket. Time after time her thoughts return to the past.

Was she wrong to break the rules? How did she go on living when all seemed lost?. .
