Löwensköldska ringen / Charlotte Löwensköld by Selma LagerlöfMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This book is also by a Swedish Nobel Prize winner, Selma Lageröf. She was the first woman ever to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. She grew up in a little village outside the city of Karlstad in western Sweden.
The book is a story about a ring. The ring was worn by a powerful general, general Löwensköld. When he died, he wanted to keep the ring with him, but a poor farmer and his wife stole it from him. Because of that, they were troubled with bad luck for the rest of their lives.
The ring kept moving from person to person, with the owner not knowing he/she was in possession of it. When a maid, jungfru Spaak, works for the descendants of general Löwensköld, a the ghost of the general appears and she that way finds the ring and returns it to the general.
I found this book to be so-so. I usually don't like fantasy, although this book had some interesting aspects. It was also written in old Swedish, so it was hard to understand.
