## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Love and Hate. Norwegian Culture. Author won the Literature Nobel Prize. Excellent.
  

*by G***. on Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2018*

Sigrid Undset (20 May 1882 – 10 June 1949) was a Norwegian novelist who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1928. She was born in Denmark, raised in Norway. She converted to Catholicism in a Lutheran majority country. I plan to read all of her books. This one is very classic, describes the culture of Norway very well, includes a love/hate story, and had me fascinated with her style of writing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Overwhelming and tragic
  

*by K***. on Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2011*

There is no doubt that this book is saddening and heartbreaking, but if you want a good story, whether short or long, you must go to Sigrid Undset. I read "Kristin Lavransdatter" a few years ago, which I loved and is my top ten favorite books of all time, so I was happy to see that Undset had written other books before her Nobel prize winning tome.This book was short, but told the tale as it needed to be told in its entirety. I loved every minute, though it brought me near to tears a few times. You will like this book, if only for its Middle Age Viking setting alone. There is another series of books by Undset that I'm trying to get a hold of, probably another set of winners.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    What a saga
  

*by H***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2014*

A must read for those who are interested in original literature.  Sigrid Undset writes Gunnar's daughter entirely in the style of an Icelandic saga (something like Beowulf)  to depict the hardships and the brutishness of the Scandinavian Middle Ages.It is a world where women have very little power, where wergild (money for life) is still practiced, and men fight each other at the smallest provocation.Yet Gunnar's daughter emerges as a strong woman who chooses her own destiny, adheres to her principles,  and refuses to marry the father of her son, raising the boy alone. The ending is not romance novel happy.The novel is a very worthwhile read, so different from anything one is used to reading. No wonder Sigrid Undset received the Nobel Prize for the body of her work.
