A memorable phrase.They can put it on a runestone when I die.
Have you read Kristin Lavransdatter?
No, never got around to it. Back in the day (the 80s) when I was hanging around with Vikings, I was put off by the very small print. Maybe I could read it now that I have my bifocals. Or maybe the library has a recorded book.
It's really long, and I read it twice but it took an age. You start living it. An advantage is that any one of the three parts could be a stand-alone book. However you do want to get to the end, where the total loss becomes apparent. And grace, if you read it with an eye to grace. Amazon has the trilogy for
$0.01, $0.01, and $0.72, used, in good condition, plus postage of course.
I'm getting her biography of Catherine of Siena.
