Description
The historical novel Marie Grubbe is loosely based on the true story of a Danish noble woman. 17 years old, she married the illegitimate son of Frederik The Third of Denmark and Norway. The relationship was unhappy and violent, and, after she had had several affairs, her husband divorced her, allowing her to keep her substantial dowry. So begins an extraordinary story tracing the life of Marie Grubbe from an adolescent to an old woman.
