W. Glyn Jones' masterful translation allows us to read in English
for the first time one of the neglected classics of Scandinavian
Literature. Ida Brandt is the classic outsider. Not acceptable to
the Danish aristocratic circle she was brought up around and too
moneyed for her nursing colleagues at the hospital. She is good
looking and gentle, generous and kind and her trusting nature is
betrayed by the people around her. Herman Bang takes us into Ida's
world, he does not comment, let alone criticise and leaves the
reader to judge. It is a novel ahead of its time in its
impressionistic, almost cinematic style.
