Dina's Son

Herbjørg Wassmo's depiction of Dina’s emotional landscape feels so vivid and personal. I wonder what inspired the choice to focus so deeply on her internal world during such tumultuous times.

Her choices were often painful to read but felt authentic. I’m curious if others found themselves sympathizing with her or questioning her actions.

The time period adds so much weight to their personal stories. Do you think the story would have felt different if set in a modern context?
