Sigrid Undset Books in Order

Sigrid Undset is a renowned Norwegian author, born in Kalundborg, Denmark, who relocated to Norway at the tender age of two. A devout Catholic and lay Dominican since her conversion in 1924, she found solace in her faith amidst the turmoil of her times. Undset's courageous stance against Nazi Germany led her to flee Norway in 1940, only to return after World War II's conclusion in 1945. Her remarkable literary career was marked by the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1928, a testament to her mastery of the medieval genre. Her iconic trilogy, Kristin Lavransdatter, has transcended linguistic barriers, being translated into over 80 languages, and is now considered one of the world's most beloved and widely read novels.
