With Egeskov Castle as the historical focal point, a great story unfolds about a country in change - the time after 1864, when Denmark reinvented itself and laid the foundation for modern society. We get up close to life in the castle: the nobility in the fine rooms, the servants in the cellar and the common people in the fields. A classic upstairs-downstairs drama filled with power, hope and human destinies. Anne-Grethe Bjarup Riis talks about working on the historical novel, the thorough research behind the books and the balance between fact and fiction. Also hear about the path from novel to upcoming TV series, a Danish counterpart to Downton Abbey. - Date: 7 October 2026 - Time: 19:00–21:00 - Venue: Tarup Bibliotek - Address: Rugvang 40, Odense NV, Denmark - Admission: From DKK 120
