Book Tips - Sigrid Undset

A very enjoyable book that beautifully blends fiction and history of Viking customs, written in a form that is inspired by old Icelandic saga style, and therefore has lots to offer both in terms of storyline and historical background.

Panoramic story of a woman in medieval Norway - full of feeling and history, anthropology. Brilliantly written.

An unbelievable story of the saga of one woman's life. It's as if you lived her life with her.
/Rachel Horwitz, United States

When you read this book it is like you are there, you are living the story. It is very enjoyable. I felt in love with Norway.
/Elena Arango, United States

It's very well written, and you immediately get caught up in the story. The characters are complex and interesting, and you can, either you are man or woman, to some extent identify with Kristin. And, of course, it's a classic novel!
/Ingebjørg Aspeland Lien, Norway

A clear look at life in the middle ages - not a Hollywood version, and a woman's rough, passionate relationships with her family, her husband, and her God. Riveting stuff. Sometimes the emotions are so raw, so true to life that it sears you as you read.
