- Synopsis
- Soaringly romantic and psychologically nuanced, Undset's novel is also a meticulous re-creation of a world split between pagan codes of retribution and the rigors of Christian piety - a world where law is a fragile new invention and manslaughter is so common that it's punishable by fine. [Proofreader's Notes: The copyright page mistakenly lists the author's birth/death dates as 1982-1949. British spellings and old English vocabulary, some footnoted. Errors in the print copy have been left intact.]
