Constance Ring by Amalie Skram
"Constance Ring" is a groundbreaking Norwegian novel that delves into the life of its eponymous protagonist, a woman who challenges the restrictive norms of 19th-century society. The narrative follows Constance's journey from a young, free-spirited girl to a married woman who becomes increasingly aware of the constraints placed upon her by marriage and societal expectations. As she grapples with her own desires and the rigid moral codes of her time, Constance's struggle for personal freedom and self-realization leads to a critical examination of the institution of marriage, gender roles, and the pursuit of individual happiness against the backdrop of a conservative social order.
