"This fascinating, off-kilter novel about a female serial killer is
an unexpectedly thrilling read." -Karl Ove Knausgard, author of My
Struggle and The Morning Star Based on the true story of Norwegian
maid Belle Gunness, 19th-century America's most notorious serial
killer with a body count of at least 14 men. My Men is a fictional
account of one broken woman's descent into inescapable madness. My
Men is a harrowing read about an enigmatic historical figure:
Brynhilde Belle Gunness, a Norwegian servant girl turned serial
killer after emigrating to America in the wake of a hopeless love
affair at home. She thought she was following her sister to a
better life, but what she found in America was a society ruled by
the same rigid moral codes that oppressed her at home. Consumed by
desire, and thirsty for the love and recognition she never received
during her impoverished formative years, Belle seeks revenge on the
world that broke her. As Belle racks up a body count of at least 14
men, she grows increasingly alienated, ruthless,
and-perversely-compelling. Kielland writes urgently and
thoughtfully about a broken person, one who yearns for liberation
from the trappings of her class, gender, and traumatic past. My Men
is a powerful and intense read, where the turn to violence is
barely noticeable, but when it happens, there is no coming back.
