What happens to an individual who is rejected by society? What happens to a society that eventually realises the living are more important than the dead, and that it is suffering a crisis of values and priorities? What does war do to us and to our outlook on the world? After a long struggle with these questions following World War I, Selma Lagerlöf produced a thought-provoking tale of love, death and survival that grapples with moral dilemmas as relevant today as they were a century ago.
