That is one of my favorite trilogies and I named my daughter Kristin way back when that name was not even heard of in America.

Wanting to find a more modern example, I was drawn to Karin Fossum ( love her) and then Jo Nesbø…fantastic. I am pleased to find a few I was unaware of here…I will have to look into them. Tusen Takk

Hi Rosalie, I’m not sure it ever was, unfortunately.

I do say that the books I cover in the article come personally recommended. I have read many Norwegian novels, but these are the ones that I have most enjoyed or been moved by.

I agree – I was really surprised to see a list of must-read Norwegian novels that didn’t include Kristin Lavransdatter. Memorable.

These books cut through the usual Norwegian bullsh*t about what a tolerant lovely people ‘we’ all are.

My favorite is Kristin Lavransdatter triology as well as Master of Hexviken, by Sigrid Undset.
