Wonderfully evocative of 13th-14th century Norway. A bit wordy at time and a LOT of focus on Catholicism (apparently Undset had just converted when she wrote this), but it reminded me a lot of the old sagas.

Ok so I didn't actually finish it... I kind of skipped ahead to the end, near the end of the third book. The ending is much more hopeful than Kristin Lavransdatter and for that I am thankful.
3 stars because the parts that are good are amazingly excellent but it was just too dense to read for fun at this point for me.
I'd recommend it to anyone doing their masters or PhD in Lit, Religion or Norse history.
