Kristin Lavransdatter

[Orual]

I finished Sigrid Undset's Kristin Lavransdatter a few days ago, and now that I've had a little time to digest, I've come to realize that it was a really, really good book. As it should be, since Undset won the Nobel Prize for it. Throughout the month I spent hauling its 1100-page bulk around, though, answering the question "What are you reading?" many, many times, I didn't come across anyone who had heard of it. Is there anyone out there who has heard of Kristin Lavransdatter?

Yes i have but then again its not surprising since i am norwegian and i have heard about both the author and that book since elementary school. :p. I also liked the book.
