Description
A prized family heirloom becomes a haunting force in this first installment of Selma Lagerlöf’s Ring trilogy. When General Bengt Löwensköld dies, his treasured ring is sewn into his young grandson’s cap—seemingly a gesture of inheritance, but one that carries a legacy of suspicion, jealousy, and fear into the lives of those left behind. As the ring’s presence stirs old resentments and tests loyalties, the story unfolds through intimate family bonds, especially the charged relationship between father and daughter, until the past begins to claim its due. Blending folklore-like dread with psychological realism, Lagerlöf explores themes of guilt, fate, and the way private emotions can ripple outward into public ruin—where suffering touches both the innocent and the responsible alike.
