Inside the Gate - Sigrid Undset's Life at Bjerkebaek (Paperback)

Nobel Prize winner Sigrid Undset's life at Bjerkebaek, her retreat in Lillehammer, Norway Inside the Gate offers readers a rare glimpse into Sigrid Undset's life at her home, Bjerkebaek, now a museum and national landmark in Lillehammer, Norway. Immensely protective of her privacy, Undset filled the timbered house with books and created a writing space where she authored many of her famous works, including Kristin Lavransdatter. There she also raised her three children, tended to her beloved garden, and welcomed close friends and family members during three decades of personal joys, sorrows, and hard work. Drawing on a wealth of historical documents, Nan Bentzen Skille's lively narrative presents an intimate portrait of Sigrid Undset's intense emotional life and creative endeavors, with Bjerkebaek at the center of it all. Many photographs vividly illustrate the text. For readers who have long admired Undset's literature, Inside the Gate provides new insight into the life and work of the Nobel Prize winner.
