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.

June 26: I. Vows

July 10: II. Providence
