Kristin Lavransdatter by Sigrid Undset
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was the longest book I think I have ever read. It was agony. I’m glad I listened to it on Audible.
I’m sorry. I know a lot of people absolutely loved this book. Okay, it is three books in one. But it just seemed to go on and on. It was like living in that miserable time when misogynic religion ruled everyone’s life.
Still, I did like the main character and watching her make up her mind about life. I must have liked it as I couldn’t stop reading it even though I wanted to quit. The whole time I was reading, was it a month? All I could think about was trying to write a decent review. So let me lead you to a review that says what I felt better than I can. Read Rachel’s Review.
Well done for persevering!
Thank you. Curiosity pulled me through.
It’s on my to-read list. Which is, honestly, so long that I’d probably not get around to reading this even if you personally put it in my hands and said that I must read it! But anyway I sure do appreciate your take.
Thank you. For the historical value, you might like it. But I think you might find it pedantic and preachy.
