Selma Lagerlöf's classic The Changeling is her told in the perspective of the Changeling as a teenager.

A hauntingly beautiful and unusual coming-of-age tale. Set in 1890, Iris's artist mother leaves Stockholm for the summer and sends her 9-year old daughter to stay with an uncle in the Finnish archipelago. The girl learns to play with other children and discovers the joys of friendship in the remote Åland Islands.

What happens if one has to make a quick decision that proves wrong? What are the consequences, if one does not meet the requirements one sets for oneself when something unexpected happens? And what if after all this, one finds new qualities in one’s character that force one to reconsider one’s entire self-image?

Georg (age 70) and Lydia (age 30) are in two completely different stages in life when they meet.
