Status Updates From Кристин, дочь Лавранса (Кри...

Erlend remains the embodiment of “well, it seemed like a good idea at the time!” Kristin is finally a real adult and I’m so invested in her personal journey that it’s become a needed distraction from my own. It’s wild that this was written in the 1920s, set in Medieval Norway, and still hits so many relevant truths.

Another one for the Big Book Book Club. I’ve downloaded the audio book and paid entirely too much for the Kindle version. Little Miss Kristin better show up and act right for me….

I hate that Erlend is too likable to hate. This isn’t a Count Vronsky situation where I can comfortably point at a man and shame him. Erlend is basically a golden retriever with the financial planning skills of a turnip. I also continue to feel bad for Simon, which is becoming deeply inconvenient. On the bright side, Kristin is showing some self-awareness while managing a giant household and raising 5 million kids.
