Description

Translated as Peder Victorious: A Tale of the Pioneers Twenty Years Later (1929). Peder Victorious continues the story of the Holm family of Giants in the Earth, concentrating on the youngest son, Peder, the only child born in America, and his relationship with his mother Beret, with the Norwegian-American church, with the surrounding community, and with the American school system. In the course of this novel Peder comes of age and ends up married to Irish-American Susie. In spite of its title the main character in the novel is Beret, showing how she becomes the best farmer in the community in spite of her struggle to adapt to the new culture and language.
