Oh yes!
I love Bernanos, too – Monsieur Ouine, perhaps even more than the Diary, but how difficult to understand it can be.
And (having encountered references to it while researching Catholic culture and history in Norway) Just began reading Kristin Lavransdatter on Friday. So far – utterly breathtaking.
Wow!

Another fan of Kristin Lavransdatter!
A while back I made a Sigrid Undset Facebook page – you’d almost think I had too much time on my hands, but I can assure you I have nothing like enough.
(Kindly delete the previous – there’s a typo in the url!)

Just this year I discovered that a book sent to me in a box of books, and one I picked up in the book-jumble-stall at the back of my parish church, are in fact a pair – Wild Orchid and the Burning Bush (one EN, the other PL). I also read Madame Dorthea – another find on that book table. Great stuff. I was meaning to change Undset’s entry above to “anything”.
I think I have joined your facebook group. Small world!
