I’ve complained mightily about this book, not as much as Vanity Fair or The Moonstone but close. I shouldn’t have complained. I liked it and I’m glad, now that I’m finished, that I read it. 1000+ pages of difficult language and complex storylines well worth reading.
I understand now, why Kristin Lavransdatter won the Nobel Prize and why it is on the Teachers First Lifetime Reading List. Good solid Summer Reading Challenge book – long as heck though.
I read this in three volumes eons ago, and it was a tough read, but I was proud of myself for finishing it at the time. I liked it too, and I really got into the story, which is timeless. I was surprised you were reading it, don’t remember seeing it on many lists. Bravo!
