Takk sa mye! Yes, I learned a bit of Norwegian, from my grandmother and I took it in college some thirty years ago. What a strange & sad turn of events that her son would marry someone with Nazi connections.

I've read almost everything Undset wrote that's been translated, although not her debate with Hamsun. I have her three children's books for young people which she wrote during the war while she was in the United States. Happy Times in Norway really has a lot of her family in it. A question I'm very curious about is, does she have any living descendants?

What do you think of Skille's book about Sigrid Undset? It was recently translated into English, and I hope to read it soon.

I'm hankering to get Saga of Saints (Undset) and I see you're one of the three LTers who have it. It's where I first heard of Saint Sunniva, my LT name, in fact. That's my original reason for visiting your library, and saying hello. Now I see you have Ida Elisabeth too. I really liked that book, but here (USA) anyway, the contemporary reviews for it were not favorable.
Yours,
