THE SECOND VOLUME IN THE CLASSIC _KRISTIN LAVRANSDATTER_ TRILOGY, _THE MISTRESS OF HUSABY_ CONTINUES THE STORY OF KRISTIN’S EVENTFUL LIFE AS SHE ADJUSTS TO NEWLY MARRIED LIFE AND THE TROUBLES OF MOTHERHOOD IN MEDIEVAL NORWAY. Opening with Kristin’s arrival at her new home, Husaby, Sigrid Undset’s novel explores the tribulations of a new family life against the stunning backdrop of 14th-century Norway. Kristin realises that married life is not all she had hoped and turns her attentions away from her husband, Erlend, and towards her faith and God. Amidst pilgrimages, adultery and plots to overthrow the king, _The Mistress of Husaby_ deepens our understanding of Kristin as we continue to follow her journey through her early adulthood. Originally published in 1921, the second installment of the _Kristin Lavransdatter_ series echoes sentiments of life in the 21st century and tugs at the reader’s heartstrings. A must-read for fans of the first _Kristin Lavransdatter_ book, Read & Co. Books have proudly republished this new edition of _The Mistress of Husaby_, with an introductory excerpt from Alrik Gustafrom’s _Six Scandinavian Novelists_.
