About This Book

A brisk comic historical novel follows Arvid Henrikinpoika Tandefelt, a bold, sword‑wielding local who intervenes in an inn brawl to protect a fellow who speaks his language and is accused of theft. Episodes mix violent farce and social satire as wounded men are tended by a pragmatic healer who demands payment, while household figures manage the aftermath and prepare traditional rituals such as the sauna. The narrative alternates action, witty exchanges, and regional detail to examine personal honor, community loyalties, and everyday resilience in a past setting.
