Best intentions

Bergman, Ingmar, 1918-20072018
Books, Manuscripts
In 1909, Ingmar Bergman's mother and father first meet. Anna is a nurse from a wealthy family; Henrik, a poor, trainee priest living with his lover. From the intensity of their courtship, to the difficult early years of their marriage, Bergman fictionalises his parent's life before his birth, drawing the quiet, emotional sensitivity of his film-maker's eye deep into the heart of his own family. 'Best Intentions' is the first in renowned film-maker Ingmar Bergman's loose trilogy of novels that plots the fractious marriage of his parents, continued in 'Sunday's Children' and 'Private Confessions'.
