Título: Women And Apple Trees
Autor: Moa Martinson
Sinopse: "Two middle-aged women who bathe every week. Nobody had ever heard of anything like that int the parish, nor in the neighbouring parishes either. Hired men and maids, sons and daughters once in the summer maybe, but married women? And year round" Thus independence in women raised eyebrows in early twentieth-century Sweden. But when Sally, two generations later, declines to marry the man with whom shw has six children, and goes on to organise a union of farmoworkers, shw provokes a great deal more than raised eyebrows... "Women and Appl Trees" deals with hardship and horrors. Yet through these linked stories of working-class life runs the redeeming thread of courage, and closeness to each other, on wich these women are somehow always able to call... A proud and eventually opimistic book by one of Sweden s best loved writers.
