U is for Undset. Set in fourteenth-century Norway, The Wreath, the first volume of Undsetâ‚¬s medieval trilogy begins the life story of Kristin Lavransdatter. Starting with Kristinâ‚¬s childhood and continuing through her romance with Erlend NikulaussÂ¸n, a dangerously charming and impetuous man, Undset re-creates the historical backdrop in vivid detail, immersing readers in the day-to-day life, social conventions, and political undercurrents of the period. But the story she tells is a modern one, brought to life with clarity and lyrical beauty in this remarkable translation by Tiina Nunnally.Â Defying her parents and stubbornly pursuing her own happiness, Kristin emerges as a woman who loves with power and passion.
