I'm in 14-century Norway, a young girl from a well-regarded family that has known its share of tragedy. But now I'm facing my own hardships and the struggle to accept an arranged marriage, all while balancing her Christian beliefs with centuries of folklore and superstition.
I've joined the Kristin Lavransdatter Readalong. Currently, I'm still in part 1, Kristin Lavransdatter: the Wreath. It was slow in the beginning, but I'm finding myself more and more anxious to find out what happens to Kristin. It was originally published in the early 20th century, but it's not a nicey-nicey view of the world whatsoever; even with a 14th-century setting, there's much to compare to a 21st-century world.
I was intrigued by the readalong, and jsut picked up Kristin from the library. I wish the print wasn't so small! But glad to hear it's so compelling.
