Summary "Garman and Worse: A Norwegian Novel" by Alexander Lange Kielland is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Richard Garman, a lighthouse keeper, and his daughter Madeleine, who navigate complex family dynamics and societal expectations in their coastal town. The narrative explores themes of isolation, the struggle between tradition and modernity, and the implications of family legacy, drawing readers into the lives of both the Garmans and their connections with the townsfolk. The opening of the novel paints a vivid picture of the sea's significance and how it shapes the characters' lives. Richard Garman enjoys a solitary life at the lighthouse, reflecting on his past and the family he has rejoined after years away. This is contrasted with Madeleine's youthful exuberance and her burgeoning friendship with a local boy named Per. As the story unfolds, the interactions between the Garmans and their relatives, particularly concerning family expectations and hidden secrets, begin to bring tension into their seemingly peaceful existence. The introduction sets the stage for a rich exploration of personal relationships and the societal structures that influence the characters' choices. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
