The Family at Gilje: A Domestic Story of the Forties is a novel written by Jonas Lauritz Idemil Lie and published in 1920. The story takes place in Norway during the 1840s and follows the lives of a family living in the remote countryside of Gilje. The main character is Margit, a young woman who marries a wealthy man named Axel, but soon realizes that her new life is not what she imagined it would be. Margit struggles to adapt to her new surroundings and the expectations placed upon her as a wife and mother. The novel explores themes of love, marriage, family, and social class, as well as the challenges faced by women in 19th century Norway.
