Summary

In "What Happened to Inger Johanne, as Told by Herself," Dikken Zwilgmeyer crafts a poignant narrative that blends autobiography with fiction, offering an introspective examination of the life of his protagonist, Inger Johanne. Written in a confessional style, Zwilgmeyer employs a rich, descriptive language that evokes the emotional landscape of the late 19th century. The book delves into themes of personal identity, the constraints of societal norms, and the search for authenticity, positioning itself within the context of the burgeoning modernist movement that questioned traditional storytelling methods. Dikken Zwilgmeyer, a notable figure in Norwegian literature, drew from his own experiences navigating the complexities of societal expectations and personal aspirations. His background as a playwright and novelist influenced his narrative techniques, allowing him to explore character psychology with depth. Zwilgmeyer's awareness of the struggles faced by women in his time likely inspired his empathetic portrayal of Inger Johanne, reflecting a broader commentary on gender and autonomy in a rapidly changing world. This novel is highly recommended for readers interested in psychological exploration and social commentary, as it offers a rich tapestry of emotions and insights. Zwilgmeyer'Äôs skillful storytelling invites readers to reflect on their own lives, making "What Happened to Inger Johanne" an essential read for those who appreciate thought-provoking literature.

    England, 1617 
     
     
    Susanna Cobbett, teenage daughter of a powerful Worcester landowner, is found dead in a gloomy woodland pond which has an evil reputation as the Witching Pool. The girl is said to have drowned herself, driven to madness by a local widow named Agnes Mason, who is arrested on a charge of witchcraft. If found guilty, she will hang at the next Assizes. 
     
     
    But Justice Belstrang, shrewd ex-magistrate and sceptic, does not believe a word of it. And when Agnes’s family beg him to help, he finds himself caught up in an ever-darkening mystery. 
     
     
    Another death follows: that of Susanna’s lover, a young shepherd. He too is reported to have drowned himself at the Witching Pool, unable to face life without his beloved. But from local woodsman Ned Berritt, Belstrang learns there’s more to it – and when Berritt too is found dead soon after, he becomes even more determined to uncover the truth. 
     
     
    The mystery grows murkier, however, as Belstrang is pitted against his old rival Justice Standish. 
     
     
    But Belstrang’s stubbornness and passion for justice drives him on. With the help of his friend and fellow-sceptic Doctor Boyd, he unravels the terrible crimes that have lain hidden behind the doors of the great manor of Ebbfield. 
     
     
    Belstrang must confront and apprehend his suspect - and risk his own life in the attempt.
