What an amazing gift Sigrid Undset has given future generations. It's a true classic and it's one set of books I would feel like I hadn't really lived unless I read it. I absolutely loved it but do feel you have to read all three books to get the full effect. I have a friend who is Norwegian and we spoke about the book, it's considered the equivalent of Shakespeare there. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/883087?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
