Happy times in Norway.
I guess I primarily loved this book because I was born in Norway and lived there for 26 years. Sigrid Undset died around the time I was born but customs and festivities in Norway were th same as when I grew up.also I spent every summer holiday at a seter in the mountains above Ringebu in Gudbrandsdalen so I am well acquainted with the life of a seter and the budeie or milking maid who runs it. All the things she writes about are very dear to me and will always live 7n my memory.

Light reading with a true life experience interwoven. The wholesomeness ofcountry living is felt and yet the safety and freedom of earlier times is to beappreciated.

Great book
I liked this book better than her other ones. It was a great story that gave insights into the way of life in Norway in the early to mid 1900's. It was a great pre-read to visiting Norway.

This was recommended by a friend
This was recommended by a friend, but I was terribly disappointed. This is a child's book. I have been to Norway and have loved it. This is not what an adult would want to see in Norway, although the meadows would have been great. There is too much of the meadow life and not enough of what Norway can be to a visitor. There are too many other things to see.

Undset is one of those authors you go back to many times. I sent this as a gift, and the person who got it loves it.
