Rating: 5 stars.
This book was originally published in the 1920’s as three books. I’m counting it as one for my 2010 book list, but it took a solid five days of reading. Over 1150 pages later, I think it was a great story. I loved that it told Kristin’s entire life story–one of my favorite parts of every book is character development, and the author did a phenomenal job of giving the reader the inside scoop on the main character (and every character, really!). If you’re looking for historical fiction, or a book set in roughly the middle ages, this is a good bet. The book was uplifting, heartbreaking, sad, and joyful, and I loved it.
