Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Kristina's reaction to her neighbours telling her she can't let Ulrika into her house since Ulrika has become a baptist. Kristina, usually mild and timid, goes livid and gives them a piece of her mind. When she later gives birth to a daughter she names her Ulrika, thereby showing her neighbours that she will always have an Ulrika in her house.
  • The way Danjel calmly handles the vicar:

The Vicar: No one is allowed to give communion unless they are ordained.
Danjel: As far as I know, nowhere in the Bible does it say that Our Lord Jesus was ordained.

  • Ulrika calling the vicar and his men out on their hypocrisy.
