- Description
- Translated as Their Father’s God, this final novel from Rølvaag’s pen continues the story of Beret, Peder, and Susie and shows how Peder’s rejection of his cultural heritage affects every aspect of his life. The community they live in is divided and these divisions of language, customs, religion, and politics affect the marital relationship between Peder and Susie. The community suffers a drought, Susie suffers a miscarriage, Beret dies, Peder’s political ambitions fail, and in the end Susie takes their child and leaves him. In this novel Rølvaag portrays the development of a new society and gives an accurate description of the political shenanigans of the period.
