Description

The final novel in world-renowned filmmaker Ingmar Bergman's trilogy of novels plotting the fractious marriage of his parents.

Twelve years of marriage, three children, and a husband, Henrik, with whom she no longer finds anything in common—Anna is at the end of her tether. Besides, she's in love with Henrik's friend Tomas, a student-priest who is everything her husband is not.

Based upon filmmaker Ingmar Bergman's own family life, Private Confessions is the final part in Bergman's loose trilogy of books that started with The Best Intentions and Sunday's Children.

Kirkus Reviews considers it a vibrant and moving contribution to Bergman's oeuvre.
