at the age of 25, Undset made her literary debut with a short realistic novel on adultery, set against a contemporary background. She joined the Norwegian Authors' Union in 1907 and from 1933 through 1935 headed its Literary Council, eventually serving as the union's chairwoman from 1936 until 1940. Its three volumes were published between 19. Her best-known work is Kristin Lavransdatter, a trilogy about life in Norway in the Middle Ages, portrayed through the experiences of a woman from birth until death. She fled Norway for the United States in 1940 because of her opposition to Nazi Germany and the German invasion and occupation of Norway, but returned after World War II ended in 1945. Born in Denmark and raised in Norway, Undset had her first books of historical fiction published in 1907. She was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1928.

Volume 111, The Cross, shows Kristin still indomitable, reconstructing her world after the devastation of the Black Death and the loss of almost everything that she has loved. Volume 11, The Mistress of Husaby, tells of Kristin's troubled and eventful married life on the great estate of Husaby, to which her husband has taken her. Volume 1, The Bridal Wreath, describes young Kristin's stormy romance with the dashing Erlend Nikulausson, a young man perhaps overly fond of women, of whom her father strongly disapproves. Its story of a woman's life in fourteenth-century Norway has kept its hold on generations of readers, and the heroine, Kristin beautiful, strong-willed, and passionate stands with the world's great literary figures.
