Dear blogger friends, Lately, I had a few problems with the Blogger web site for my blog The Content Reader . I took this as a sign that I should finally create a web site of my own. I have been checking out other options, but could not get my act together. Finally, I have managed to create a basic web site with Wix, which I hope will be developed over time.  It has not been easy to find my way around.

She received the Nobel Literature Prize in 1928 for her magnificent family saga Kristin Lavransdotter . There are three books; The Wreath, The Wife and The Cross. A wonderful story of a strong woman in the 14th century.  Sigrid Undset's houses in Lillehammer, Norway Sig...
