Originally published between 19, before Undset became the first woman to win the Nobel Prize in 1928 ‘ principally for her powerful descriptions of Northern life during the Middle Ages’, this trilogy of historical novels tells the story of a scandalous woman in the Middle Ages.
The Kristin Lavransdatter trilogy by Norwegian Nobel Laureate Sigrid Undset (1882-1949) consists of three books: The Wreath (Kransen) The Wife (Husfrue) and The Cross (Korset), and the whole book in this Penguin Classics edition runs to 1124 pages. Two thirds of the way through this mighty trilogy, I’ve decided to review each of the books separately because I’m reading it concurrently with other books and I might lose the thread if I don’t.
