"Do you promise me to go northward?" asked Veterlide. Ljot gave him the promise, and when he had left the neighborhood, Veterlide sailed for Iceland. He parted from Gunnar in a most friendly fashion and they gave each other rich gifts; to Vigdis he gave a golden brooch and a mirror of Southern workmanship; she bestowed on him at parting an embroidered cloak of red silk.
pickInterested in reading Undset,but reading her Nobel prize winning 3vol. Kristin Lavransdatter seemed a daunting place to start.Her shorter historical novel ,152 pgs.would give me a taste.Set at the beginning of the 11th century,Vigdis (Gunnar‘s Daughter)is raped by a man she could have loved .She tackles adversity head on in this violent & unpredictable time ,a strong female heroine to root for.Published in 1909,often Game of Thrones like.👍❤️
#marchTBR #currentlyreading Part way through all of these and listening to Trevor Noah‘s autobiography on audio. Hope I can get something done soon.Hope the libraries let me renew.😀
