Kristin Lavransdattir: The Bridal Wreath

Kristin Lavransdattar: The Bridal Wreath by Sigrid Unset, 305 pages.
Kristin, who has always been the light of her father's life, decides after a year at a medieval Norwegian finishing school that she cannot marry the man to whom she is to be engaged. She and another student have had some adventures in the nearby town and along the way she has fallen in love with an older man whose life has been almost ruined by scandal. This was not a time and a place where women got to choose and Kristin must tread carefully to avoid ruin, a forced marriage, or a complete rupture with her family.
