![]() In Kristin Lavransdatter (1920-1922), Sigrid Undset interweaves political, social, and religious history with the daily aspects of family life to create a colorful, richly detailed tapestry of Norway during the fourteenth-century. I’ll use these excerpts from the Penguin Reading Guide that I found online to explain the plot more simply than I’m capable of: In fact I’ve been trying to pull together some thoughts (well actually, I’ve been continuing to avoid doing so) for three days.įortunately I’m not alone – the other participants in this read-along have started posting their reviews, and reading what they have to say and joining in the discussion through comments has kicked my brain back into action. ![]() This is slightly unfortunate, I’m finding, now that I am sitting down to try to pull together some thoughts. ![]() I just didn’t bother to think too hard about it. That doesn’t mean that the book didn’t make an impression on me. ![]() I didn’t take notes, my yellow highlighter didn’t mark a single page, and the story didn’t settle very far into my consciousness. ![]() Overwhelmed by an overly eventful month and my hefty reading choices (all three of them…!) I chose to devote the larger part of three evenings to The Wreath and just get it over with. I read the first section of this book in a hurry. ![]()
