St. Paul’s Campus
Led by Deacon Tim O’Donnell and Reed Morgan, HCF Graduate Student Fellow
Sigrid Undset, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature and midlife convert to Catholicism, gives us a gripping four-volume tale of guilt and redemption, love and suffering, violence and divine Providence, centering on the life, times, and family of Olav Audunsson in medieval Norway. The group will discuss one volume at each session, using the sparkling new translation by Tiina Nunnally and published by the University of Minnesota Press:
June 26: I. Vows
July 10: II. Providence
July 24: III. Crossroads
August 7: IV. Winter
All are welcome, but registration is required. Light dinner served.
Participants can obtain books from local libraries and bookstores, or on Amazon (including Kindle). Please purchase the new translation by Tiina Nunnally, not the Chater translation from 1927-30.
