![]() ![]() ![]()  In 1920, Norwegian author Sigrid Undset (1882-1949) published The Wreath, the first in a trilogy to be known as Kristin Lavransdatter, quickly followed by The Wife (1921) and The Cross (1922). If you’ve already read Kristin, skip to the next paragraph if you haven’t, here are the facts about this work.  I can’t let the occasion pass without marking it, though, and the simple solution is to skip writing a formal review and instead make a few observations.  I meant to write about it long before now, but I’m sure I have nothing original to add to the many, well-deserved discussions that have taken place elsewhere. Certainly my most significant reading accomplishment of this past spring was Sigrid Undset’s classic Kristin Lavransdatter. ![]()
