[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kristin Lavransdatter, by Sigrid Undset. Get the modern translation, which has a black cover and all three parts of the trilogy in one book. It won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1929, I think. It is the story of a marriage in medieval Norway. I have read it dozens of times, and get more out of it every time I read it. Reviewers have said only Brothers Karamazov could rival its study of human nature. The first few chapters start a little slow, with Kristin's childhood, but then the action is unrelenting, soul-rending, and so real. You will BE Kristin, but you will want to shake her, too. I will give it to each of my daughters when they are 16, so they can understand love, what marriage is like, what it is like to be a woman. You get to live someone else's life, all her mistakes, and it will haunt you.[/quote] Sounds terrific, and I put it on hold at my library. They asked which volume I wanted, so I went with 1, so is it a series? [/quote]
