Kristin Lavransdatter III : The Cross (Kristin Lavransdatter (Penguin))
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The definitive new translation of the masterwork of Scandinavia's most beloved author is now complete.
Kristin Lavransdatter is a story of love, loyalty, and betrayal, set against a richly detailed historical backdrop of fourteenth-century Norway. The Cross (1922) finds Kristin returning with her husband, Erlend, and their sons to her childhood home, Jorundgaard. As the boys grow older, Kristin is increasingly worried about their prospects, and she and Erlend become estranged. The most devastating and emotional volume in the trilogy, The Cross chronicles the trials and losses Kristin must bear. Tiina Nunnally's exquisite rendering of this unforgettable novel, both more faithful to the beauty of the original Norwegian and more readable than the existing translation, is the first new English translation of Undset's masterpiece.
Translated with Notes by Tiina Nunnally and introduction by Sherrill Harbison
