Beskrivelse
Marie Grubbe tells the story of a Danish noblewoman whose life was marked by turbulent relationships and bold choices. This historical novel explores her journey through love, betrayal, and self-discovery.
A captivating tale of a noblewoman’s unconventional life and enduring spirit.
Based loosely on the real-life Marie Grubbe, a wealthy heiress, the novel follows her marriage to the illegitimate son of Frederik The Third of Denmark and Norway. Their union was far from happy, filled with violence and strife. After engaging in several affairs, Marie’s husband divorced her but allowed her to keep her considerable dowry.
Following the divorce, Marie spent two years traveling across Europe with her brother-in-law and lover, using the fortune her mother had bequeathed to her. Upon returning home, her father arranged a marriage to a local nobleman, but this relationship also proved unhappy.
At forty-six, Marie finally found a lifelong companion in a coach driver more than twenty years her junior. This novel stands as a remarkable piece of Danish 19th-century fiction, celebrating the life of a woman who defied societal expectations.
