About the author
Jan Fridegård
65 books7 followersJohan Fridolf Fridegård, known as Jan Fridegård, originally Johansson and in youth called Fride Johansson, was a Swedish writer. In the Swedish literature Fridegård belonged to the so called proletarian authors, specifically (statarskolan). He is known for integrating social issues and conditions within his novels. His most prominent books are the self-biographical "Lars Hard" series as well as his Viking age trilogy. However, he was a very prolific author.
Fridegård kom från statarmiljö; den fräna självbiografiska romansviten om Lars Hård (1935–36) genomsyras av ett frigörelsepatos. Samma engagemang kännetecknar också trilogin om den upproriske trälen Holme, Trägudars land (1940), Gryningsfolket (1944) och Offerrök (1949).

I’m sorry but this was just… not for me.
As an archaeologist I also found it very weird to be infatuated with the Egtved girl who lived over 3-4000 years ago, only to then also call her ”Raspberry girl” who is another well-preserved body of a young woman. While I do want to make it clear that I don’t mind inspiration being taken from real life cases and artifacts/findings such as these, I do not vibe with the way it was presented in this book in particular. This to me just read like the ramblings of an old man interested in young individuals (add the fact that the object of interest is dead since long too!) and you get a recipe for confusion and mild disgust. I will not be reading more books by this author.
