The work of one of Norway's most distinguished 20th-century novelists, Alberta Alone forms the last part of the Alberta trilogy, which traces the emotional development of a lethargic and unhappy girl into a self-sufficient woman. The previous volumes of this trilogy have been widely acclaimed as being among the masterpieces of contemporary literature. In this third part, which stands as a novel on its own, Alberta, now mistress to Sivert, a Norwegian artist, is living in Paris with their small son. While Sivert is involved in a liaison with a Swedish painter, Alberta falls in love with Pierre, a writer who has just returned from the First World War. After a period of conflict Sivert and Alberta return to Norway, and there Alberta's self-realisation becomes complete. With subtlety and insight, Cora Sandel depicts the gradual corrosion of a relationship, against the background of the aftermath of the Great War.

Shipping terms
For Domestic orders, shipping is based upon the total weight of the order & not per book. Shipping rates to most countries are now based upon the actual weight of the book or books, so ( all things being equal ) the price for shipping is the true cost of sending your order. So, a small paperback will be far cheaper than a large tome - CHEERS ABE FOR THIS. We ship to all nations. All items are packed individually and to a very high standard, using only easily recyclable materials. We DO NOT just stick the book in a polythene mailer with a prayer.
