Kristin Lavransdatter is the greatest book ever written

Kristin Lavransdatter is one of the two greatest pieces of literature that I've ever read. It ranks among the top 50 books ever written in my mind. It is an enchanting story of love and family in medieval Norway. The background is almost as great as the story itself. Undset is amazing. My first daughter will be named Kristin in her honor. The book is definitely a must read. If there were more stars on this review chart, I would still place it off the charts.

Kristin Lavransdatter is medieval and promiscuous...read if you are willing to think!

I had to read the first book of the Kristin Lavransdatter trilogy for my sophomore religion class this year. After spending a good weekend reading it, I concluded that it was a book about a girl who makes bad choices about love and sex during medieval Norway. The names are hard to grasp at first because they're all Norwegian names (since the author is Norwegian, it's all translated). However, the actual plot of the book is pretty good, because there is constant conflict. It takes about 60pages for the book to be interesting, but as soon as you get that far, it's great.
