Video: The Strawberry Girl
The Strawberry Girl is a fictional account of where Edvard Munch's The Scream began.
Lisa Stromme’s debut novel The Strawberry Girl is a fictionalised account of the events that led to the creation of Edvard Munch’s iconic painting, The Scream.
Set in the Norwegian seaside town of Asgardstrand, where Munch rented a summer house, the novel centres on a young girl, Johanne, who is the confidante of Munch’s lover, Tullik Ihlen.
