Jerusalem

In the remote parish of Dalarna, Sweden, the Ingmarsson family has lived on their ancestral farm for generations, bound by honor, duty, and an almost sacred attachment to the land. But when a powerful religious revival sweeps through the village, led by the charismatic preacher Hellgum, neighbors and loved ones begin to question everything they once held certain. Farmers sell their homesteads to follow a vision of a perfect community in Jerusalem itself. Among those torn is young Ingmar Ingmarsson, drawn between his love for the spirited Brita and the call of a new faith that demands everything. Told with warmth and luminous detail, this is a story of ordinary people caught between two worlds—the soil they have worked and the promise of a holy city. A faithful modern retelling that preserves the soul and drama of Selma Lagerlöf’s original. Part of Timeless Classics.
