Aviovaimo : Romaani by Anna Baadsgaard
"Aviovaimo : Romaani" by Anna Baadsgaard is a novel written in the early 20th century. It appears to be a psychological domestic drama about a marriage under strain, set against a seaside retreat and a fateful holiday. The story follows eminent surgeon Professor Ove Krohn, his anxious, devoted wife Margareta, and their grown children Ellen and Arne, whose encounters with aspiring singer Maud Atkinson and Swedish medical student Yngve Alvén stir desire,
pride, and clashing views of modern love and gender roles. The beginning of the novel opens with a rainy-night departure by ship, where spirited Ellen thrills at the journey while her mother frets over Ove’s frayed nerves; in their cabin, Ove brusquely rejects then briefly softens toward his wife. Onboard, Ellen meets and warms to the courteous Yngve Alvén, and morning brings a radiant sea and a sense of promise. At the resort hotel, genteel guests gossip as Maud Atkinson and her flamboyant mother arrive; Maud’s sultry song captivates the room—and especially Ove—while Margareta withdraws in hurt silence. Soon after, Arne daydreams on the heath; Maud joins him, hints at a hard past, deflects his shy confession, and their walk ends under Ove’s cold, controlling gaze, signaling the emotional tensions to come.
