The Parson’s Widow

Marja-Liisa Vartio

After the publication of The Parson’s Widow, Vartio’s fifth novel, Finnish critics hailed it as a masterpiece, her finest literary achievement. This is the first opportunity for English readers to become acquainted with her unforgettable characters: the eccentric widow of a country parson, her maid Alma, and the other inhabitants of a rural village. Readers will discover the passions that lie beneath the villagers’ reserve and formality, and that from time to time break through the polite surface with devastating results.
