On one of his hunting trips, the lieutenant bumps into the androgynous Edvarda, daughter of the chief of the town of Sirilund, a fifteen-year-old girl with a dark complexion and full lips. They live a passionate love story until autumn arrives. Edvarda doesn't take her relationship with the lieutenant very seriously, and when she finally marries a baron, catastrophe strikes.

Synopsis
Between "Hunger" and "Growth of the Soil" lies the time generally allotted to a generation, but at first glance the two books seem much farther apart. One expresses the passionate revolt of a homeless wanderer against the conventional routine of modern life. The other celebrates a root-fast existence bounded in every direction by monotonous chores. The issuance of two such books from the same pen suggests to the superficial view a complete reversal of position.
