Holder seg sjokkerende godt, og kvinnekarakterende og vennskapet deres er godt skrevet. Hørte den på lydbok, og det var veldig krevende. Dette er en bok som bør leses og ikke lyttes til. Jeg følte jeg ikke helt fikk med meg alt fordi jeg hørte den på lydbok.

Jeg ser det er mange som ikke liker denne noe videre, og jeg kan saktens forstå det. Synnøve Solbakken er ei fin, men ikke veldig actionfylt roman, som for dagens lesere også kan være ganske tung å lese. Enkelte steder er det vanskelig å følge med for en travel leser, særlig hvis du hører den på lydbok, slik som meg. Likevel syns jeg det er en god bok, og ikke minst en god representant for den typisk norske nasjonalromantiske litteraturen.
Jeg knyttet meg til disse to ungdommene, og jeg følte med dem. Tross i at boka er gammel, syns jeg reaksjonene deres var lette å relatere seg til, dessuten har teksten overraskende gode skildringer av kvinnelige karakterer, tidsepoken tatt i betraktning. Sånt sett er den bedre enn mange av dagens litterære verker, overraskende nok.
Den er vakkert skrevet, og gir liv til norske skoger og fjell såvel som unge, forelskede mennesker. Anbefales for alle som kunne tenke seg å lese litt kortere kanonlitteratur.

In conjuction with the Theme of Nation building in our Norwegian class (Mandatory Mother tongue class), we were incouraged to read a work by one of the main campiagners for Norway's independence during that time. We ended up with this excerpt from the original [b:Bondefortellinger|21839695|Bondefortellinger|Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1396465630s/21839695.jpg|41106709].
The language is best described as Norwegian with a bit of an old fashioned sentence structure and a lot of old fromulations and words that are not used frequently by our generation. If one is fluent in Norwegian, it is not too big of a challenge understanding these less common words and phrases.
We are introduced to the Solbakken (The Hill of sun)) family and The Granlien (Hillside of Spruce) family. The Solbakken's farm is located on the sunny part of the vally, while the Granlien's fram is in the woods in the valley. Guttorm Solbakken is blessed with a daughter who diligently reads the bible every night. Sædmund is blessed with a son who also happens to read the bible every night, but not as diligently. Solbakken's daughter, Synnøve, is a lonely child and is considered the most beautiful and kindest girl in the valley. Torbjørn has at least three siblings (apparently the number wasn't too important) and is a bit more reckless.
The point of view autoral, so we are not as connected with the characters as I would've liked to. Once in a while one meets a weird mash of nature and animal describe projections, wich honestly makes no sence. However, I like the plot to a certain degree (She cries way too much) and will reward it with 3 Stars.

Det er ikke den store dramatikken som skildres, men allikevel er det en fin bok, med preg av sin samtid. Vakre, romantiske naturskildringer, samtidig som den gir et blikk inn i de mørkere sidene av mennesket.

Read this book in my Nobel prize winner-project. Read it in Norwegian. It is a book about young love and life in the countryside in turn of the century Norway.
