As the world around her becomes increasingly opaque and threatening, Kristin's own world begins to spiral out of control: alienated from her former allies, battered by misfortunes, and bitter over the decline of her family, which she cannot forgive her husband for, she makes a fatal mistake. And then the plague starts to rage in 14th-century Norway. Whether Kristin will ultimately find her peace lies solely in her own hands. Gabriele Haefs has completely retranslated Kristin Lavranstochter, this time from the original Norwegian. When comparing both translations, it becomes clear what a masterful translation can achieve: Gabriele Haefs has truly made the text shine. Volume 1 and 2: "The Crown" and "The Woman" have already been published.
