July Ladies' Book Club: Kristin Lavransdatter, I: The Wreath

June 24, 2019 The Story Shop

Join us for the July session of our Ladies Book Club! This month, we will be reading Kristin Lavrandsdatter, 1: The Wreath by Sigrid Undset, the next book in the beautiful Penguin Drop Caps series. Here is the publisher's summary: 

U is for Undset. Set in fourteenth-century Norway, The Wreath, the first volume of Undset’s medieval trilogy begins the life story of Kristin Lavransdatter. Starting with Kristin’s childhood and continuing through her romance with Erlend Nikulaussøn, a dangerously charming and impetuous man, Undset re-creates the historical backdrop in vivid detail, immersing readers in the day-to-day life, social conventions, and political undercurrents of the period. But the story she tells is a modern one, brought to life with clarity and lyrical beauty in this remarkable translation by Tiina Nunnally.  Defying her parents and stubbornly pursuing her own happiness, Kristin emerges as a woman who loves with power and passion.

Cost is $25. Included with our price is a copy of the Penguin Drop Caps Collector's Edition of the book, light refreshments, and good conversation. We will meet in our celebration room on Thursday, July 18 at 7:00 p.m. Call or come by to register! (678-635-8801)
