SIGRID. UNDSET

GUNNAR'S DAUGHTER

Sigrid Undset

Set in Norway and Iceland at the beginning of the eleventh century, Gunnar's Daughter is the story of the beautiful, spoiled Vigdis Gunnarsdatter, who is raped by the man she had wanted to love. A woman of courage and intelligence, Vigdis is toughened by adversity.

Gunnar's Daughter

A masterpiece. Blazingly feminist and deeply moving.

Bonnie Auslander

Set in Norway and Iceland at the beginning of the 11th century, "Gunnar's Daughter" tells the story of a beautiful, spoiled young woman who, after being raped by the man she had wanted to love, raises the child conceived in violence. Alone she rebuilds her life and restores her family's honor--until an unremitting social code propels her to take the action that again destroys her happiness.

What an amazing tale of love and hatred, and vengeance at price of happiness. An instant favourite.
