## Snapshot

The beautiful, quietly commanding eldest daughter of prosperous Evjen, who refuses every wealthy suitor and blushes at the name of the impoverished neighbor boy.

## Who they are

Sigrid runs the family council with kind, sensible words and an innate dignity that makes everyone call her an heiress, yet she turns away the richest peasants of the district one by one. When her father jests that she will end up with the brawler Gjermund Strömshagen, she flees the room in tears — proof that the old childhood friendship across the ravine is no small thing. Her withheld choice sits at the center of the feud between the two farms.
