A funny, magical story about family and imagination from Patricia Forde, perfect for children learning to read. I must admit I found the novel to be compelling enough to recommend and enjoy, no easy feat. Admittedly, this may not be a very large group of people, but the fact that the novels remain in print in English several decades after the book was written suggests that there are at least enough people who find this novel compelling so that it can be read by the general public. In fact, it is a fairly straightforward novel that is accessible to anyone who cares about Norway in the Middle Ages. The obscurity of these works, and the fact that the author is writing about fictional characters from fourteenth century Norway, is not a barrier to understanding this novel at all. Both novels are thought of highly by many readers of Catholic and Orthodox backgrounds, and both could very easily be considered as part of the Great Books canon, although Undset’s works are far more obscure. Both writers are Christian realist authors with a strong interest in crime and punishment and questions of sin and grace. In reading this book, I could understand why it has often been compared to some of the novels by Dostoevsky. The Bridal Wreath (Kristin Lavransdatter I), by Sigrid Undset In South Africa, which was then under control of the British and the Dutch (known as Boers), he, like other Indians there, encountered frequent discrimination. When he returned to his homeland in 1891, he had difficulty finding employment as a lawyer, so in 1893 he traveled to South Africa, where an Indian firm had given him a one-year contract to do legal work. In 1888, Gandhi left India to study law in London, England. Gandhi got his start as an activist in South Africa, not India. She died at the Aga Khan Palace in present-day Pune, India, where the Gandhis had been interned by the British since 1942 for their political activism. Even when Gandhi took a vow of celibacy in 1906 for reasons of spirituality, self-discipline and commitment to public service, his wife remained married to him until her death at age 74. It was an arranged marriage, and Gandhi had been engaged to Kasturba since he was seven. At 13, Mohandas Gandhi, whose father was the “diwan,” or chief minister, of a series of small princely states in western India, wed Kasturba Makanji (1869-1944), then also a teen and the daughter of a merchant. |
