Kristin Lavransdatter by Sigrid UndsetMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Wow what a journey! This was an epic the way an epic is supposed to be written. Rather than using a tome to go through as many generations of a family as possible, it focuses on one generation (actually just one person), but we get to see all the good points and faults of the protagonist as well as many of the other characters. Hardly any cardboard cutouts, but rather people in their complexity. Oh, and it takes place in 14th century Norway.
