Summary "Mary" by Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the titular character, Mary, and explores her family background, relationships, and experiences that shape her life. Set in southern Norway, it delves into themes of heritage, love, and personal identity, while also shedding light on the social dynamics of the time. The opening of the book introduces the reader to the Krogskogen estate, rich in history and nestled by a tranquil bay. It describes the surroundings, including the family lineage tied to the land and its previous owners. A particular focus is given to Anders Krog, a man of gentle disposition who embodies both familial pride and a deep sense of solitude. His world begins to shift when he encounters his niece, Marit, who arrives unexpectedly, bringing with her the promise of connection and emotional transformation. The initial chapters set the stage for the intertwining of past and future, as the characters navigate their relationships against the backdrop of their heritage.
