The second volume in the classic Kristin Lavransdatter trilogy, The Mistress of Husaby continues the story of Kristin’s eventful life as she adjusts to newly married life and the troubles of motherhood in medieval Norway.
Opening with Kristin’s arrival at her new home, Husaby, Sigrid Undset’s novel explores the tribulations of a new family life against the stunning backdrop of 14th-century Norway. Kristin realises that married life is not all she had hoped and turns her attentions away from her husband, Erlend, and towards her faith and God.
Amidst pilgrimages, adultery and plots to overthrow the king, The Mistress of Husaby deepens our understanding of Kristin as we continue to follow her journey through her early adulthood. Originally published in 1921, the second installment of the Kristin Lavransdatter series echoes sentiments of life in the 21st century and tugs at the reader’s heartstrings.
A must-read for fans of the first Kristin Lavransdatter book, Read & Co. Books have proudly republished this new edition of The Mistress of Husaby, with an introductory excerpt from Alrik Gustafrom’s Six Scandinavian Novelists.

Sigrid Undset (1882-1949) was a Norwegian-Danish author born in Kalundborg, Denmark. Her best-known work is the historical fiction trilogy, Kristin Lavransdatter, published between 1920 and 1922. The books capture life in medieval Norway from the perspective of one woman, from birth to death. Despite her atheist upbringing, Undset converted to Catholicism in 1924 and most of her following work reflects her strong, religious beliefs. In 1928, Undset won the Nobel Prize for Literature.
