A novel of autobiographical inspiration, L’Âge heureux opens the Jenny Winge cycle and introduced French readers to the future Nobel Prize in Literature laureate of 1928. Sigrid Undset portrays the passage from adolescence to adulthood, its disillusionments and its fervors, with a rare psychological precision that would mark her entire body of work.
