About this book
In a time when rural communities grappled with the weight of tradition and authority, "Villihanhet" by Martha Ostenso explores the intricate dynamics of the Garen family. The narrative centers on Caleb Gare, an authoritarian patriarch whose rigid control shapes the lives of those around him, particularly his family members. As tensions rise within the household, themes of personal freedom and familial obligation collide, revealing the struggle for autonomy against oppressive forces. This thought-provoking novel invites students and civic activists to examine the complexities of power and resistance in interpersonal relationships. With its rich character development and poignant social commentary, "Villihanhet" remains a significant work for those interested in the interplay of authority and individual rights.
