£11.95 Fru Inés, wife of the Swedish consul in late nineteenth-century Constantinople, is a member of the wealthy elite; but her privileged position has become a prison, and her attempt to break out by taking a young lover does not bring the sexual fulfilment she craves. This novel tells the story of the misalliance between Lucie, a vivacious and beautiful dancing girl from Tivoli, and Theodor Gerner, a respectable lawyer from the strait-laced middle-class society of nineteenth-century Norway. Having first kept her as a mistress, Gerner is so captivated by Lucie’s charms that he marries her, only to discover that his project to turn her into a proper and demure housewife is continually frustrated by her irrepressible sensuality and lack of fine breeding. What had made her alluring as a mistress makes her unacceptable as a wife. His attempts to govern her behaviour develop gradually into a harsh tyranny against which she rebels in a manner which brings misery and despair to both. Cover Image: Portrait of the Painter Oda Krohg, b. Lasson, 1888 by Christian Krohg, Oil on Linen, 69 x 86 cm, The National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design, Norway. The cover picture of the bohemian Oda Krohg, wife of the painter Christian Krohg and a member of Amalie Skram’s circle of friends, was painted in the same year that Lucie was published. Although the portrait does not represent the novel’s heroine, the jaunty pose is strikingly reminiscent of Lucie as we first meet her.
