Description

A miller's son, Johannes, falls in love with the daughter of a wealthy landowner, Victoria. The novel follows them through adolescence, as Johannes struggles with the social hierarchy and becomes a successful author, and Victoria is forced into marrying Otto, a lieutenant, to save the troubled family economy.

A lyrical excursion into unconsummated love, love that is described memorably as Blood and Blossoms.

Hamsun later named his daughter "Victoria", after the novel.
