I'm surprised by how much I enjoyed this book- first in a trilogy about a young Norwegian girl coming of age. It won the Pulitzer in 1920 and is the start of an epic saga of her life, this part from childhood to young marriage. It's soapier than you might expect, but really interesting, and I look forward to seeing how the main character (and her family) develop.
