The Angel House is the third in the remarkable series of
free-standing novels that cemented Kerstin Ekman's reputation in
her native Sweden during the 1970s, long before she achieved
world-wide success with novels like Blackwater and The Forest of
Hours. It follows the fortunes of the inhabitants of a provincial
Swedish town familiar from the previous two books in the sequence,
Witches' Rings and The Spring, from the late 1920s to the Second
World War, when events beyond the boundaries of neutral Sweden
threaten to disrupt the regular rhythms of life. With this sequence
of novels focussing primarily on the lives of ordinary women,
Kerstin Ekman provides an alternative, subversive history of the
community in which she grew up, and gives a finely-drawn portrait
of a town in transition. The Angel House is published here for the
first time in English in a translation by Sarah Death, an
acknowledged expert on Kerstin Ekman's work.
