Critics Review
“A refreshing new look at the personal side of Sigrid Undset.”-Bergens Tidende
“Easy to read, richly illustrated, and at the same time written with great professional expertise.”-Aftenposten
“A lavish edition in every sense of the word, brimming with materials that have never been seen before.”-VG
“One of the joys of Inside the Gate is the many photographs and drawings of Undset, her children, the property at BjerkebÆk, and various memorabilia. The author reconstructs several key events in Undset’s life, such as a child’s confirmation party, detailing who likely attended, what they ate, and what Undset was writing about at the time.”-Scandinavian Hour
