Reading Kristin Lavransdatter I: The Wreath | Alexandria
Read Kristin Lavransdatter I: The Wreath by Sigrid Undset. Living scandalously in medieval Norway, a headstrong woman defies arranged marriage to pursue forbidden love, offering a startlingly modern meditation on desire versus duty. The Wreath upends assumptions about "pious" historical fiction through its raw sensuality and psychological complexity, revealing how passion's consequences echo across centuries.
