Summary "Mary" by Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book centers around the Krog family, particularly focusing on Anders Krog and his unexpected romantic involvement with his cousin, Marit Krog. The narrative explores themes of love, familial ties, and personal identity, as well as the transitions within the Krog lineage against the backdrop of Norwegian culture and the natural landscape. The opening of the novel introduces Krogskogen, the Krog family's homestead located on the picturesque coast of southern Norway. It paints a vivid picture of the environment and details the rich history of the Krog family, emphasizing their Dutch ancestry and the intertwining lineage. Characters like Anders Krog emerge, depicted as a polite and introverted man deeply connected to his roots, while Marit Krog, who arrives from Michigan, provides a fresh dynamic into his life. Their initial interactions hint at a developing relationship, which serves as a foundation for the unfolding story that interweaves themes of heritage, the burden of expectations, and the quest for personal happiness.
