The Bridal Wreath: Kristin Lavransdatter Vol I

Description for THE BRIDAL WREATH: KRISTIN LAVRANSDATTER VOL I by Sigrid Undset:

The acknowledged masterpiece of the Nobel Prize-winning Norwegian novelist Sigrid Undset, KRISTIN LAVRANSDATTER has never been out of print in this country since its first publication in 1927. Its story of a woman's life in fourteenth-century Norway has kept its hold on generations of readers, and the heroine, Kristin—beautiful, strong-willed, and passionate—stands with the world's great literary figures. Volume 1, THE BRIDAL WREATH, describes young Kristin's stormy romance with the dashing Erlend Nikulausson, a young man perhaps overly fond of women, of whom her father strongly disapproves.
