Description

Kristin Lavransdatter, I: The Wreath is a richly detailed tapestry of 14th-century Norway, woven from the threads of politics, social history, and family life. Sigrid Undset's masterpiece interweaves the past with the present, creating a nuanced portrait of human nature.

Undset's own life experiences, including her familiarity with Norse sagas and folklore, as well as her deep religious faith, profoundly influenced her writing. This new translation by Tina Nunnally captures Undset's strengths as a stylist, retaining the natural dialog and lyrical flow of the original Norwegian.

Published in 1997, Kristin Lavransdatter has become a favorite throughout the world, widely read by Norwegians and beyond. Its meticulously accurate historical portrait, combined with masterful storytelling, makes it a compelling read for anyone interested in historical fiction and the medieval period.
