Sigrid Undset

Undset's "Catherine of Siena" is critically acclaimed as one of the best biographies of this famous 14th-century saint. Known for her historical fiction, which won her the Nobel Prize for literature in 1928, Undset was lauded for her meticulous research of medieval figures.

Excellent - Undset does a great job of helping you understand the world at the time from the perspective of a humble servant of God whose "power" was not derived from traditional social, political, military or religious sources. I couldn't put it down.
