Book Review of The Bridal Wreath (Kristin Lavransdatter, Bk 1)

The Bridal Wreath (Kristin Lavransdatter, Bk 1)
reviewed on + 13 more book reviews


This heroine reminds me a lot of Scarlett O'Hara in her selfishness and obsessions with the wrong men. But of course, she's in Norway in the Middle Ages, instead of America during the civil war. The writing and story is captivating, and the glimpses of medieval life are equally fascinating. Although the story is mainly about Kristin, I loved the occasional scenes of the other significant people in the story- all the characters are compelling in their own right. I'm definitely planning on reading the other two books in the trilogy.
