A review by ddejong
Kristin Lavransdatter, I: The Wreath by Sigrid Undset

A lot more drama than I was expecting from a book published in the 1920s and set in medieval Norway. The third part of the book stood out to me for its sobering portrayal of the weight of sin and the unexpected pathos of the final scene with Kristin’s parents. I’ll read the next two books fairly soon to experience the epic sweep of Kristin’s life and avoid losing track of the plot.
