Title: Beyond sing the woods
Description: A powerful romantic family saga set in the Norwegian woods in the 1750-1850 era.  The first of two books tracking the fortunes of the Bjorndal family (in norwegian it was a trilogy), which became major best sellers in Europe and North America. The world is ready for a re-read of this material. 
The second book is The wind from the mountains.
The author, Trygve Gulbranssen never wrote anything else, but in this work he gives us a timeless view of interactions between people, especially spouses, with exceptional understanding of female thinking and behaviour.  All this is set against the historical events in Europe at the time before, during, and after the napoleonic wars.
