A spellbinding, darkly poetic literary novel that plunges us into
the inner life of America's first female serial killer
Seventeen-year-old Brynhild is in a fever - she can't quiet the
screaming world inside her. Following the brutal end of an intense
affair, she flees Norway for America to begin a new life as Bella.
She tries to settle first with her sister and then with a husband,
but the restless pulse of her desire and fear won't let her keep
still. As Bella seeks refuge in a series of men, her yearning for
an all-consuming love ruptures into violence. In this breathtaking
novel, Victoria Kielland writes her way into the tumultuous inner
life of Brynhild Størset, the Norwegian woman who would become
Belle Gunness - one of America's most notorious female serial
killers. Written in prose of wild, visceral beauty, My Men dares to
imagine one woman's capacity for ecstatic love and gruesome
cruelty.
