Kristin Lavransdattar through Chapter 5
Apr. 14th, 2019 12:16 pmLife has gotten away from me this week and I'm not making very good time in Kristin Lavransdattar (sorry, ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
evelyn_b!). But I have managed to make my way to chapter 5, and I am happy to report that Kristin does sort of apprentice herself to the witch, although sadly it's a very informal apprenticeship and the book seems set to move away from Possible Witchy Happenings to Kristin's impending marriage to a dude who seems perfectly fine BUT is not her childhood friend who just declared his love for her even though he's nowhere near rich enough for her parents to let him marry her.
Why would you do that, childhood friend? You're just making Kristin's life way more complicated for no reason.
Kristin has also mooted the possibility of entering a convent, which I don't think will happen, although I for one would enjoy 1,000 pages about life in a medieval Norwegian convent. But we'll see! It's hard to know anything about a book this size when you're only five chapters in.
