This is one of the finest novels I have ever read. Until reading about it to write this note, I had not realized that it was one of the first novels to describe the entire life of a woman who was not a royal. My estimation of the book may be influenced by the fact that I purchased and read it in Norway while spending two months there visting family. Consequently, I was able to visit several of the sites which play a part in the novel while reading it.

I reviewed this under the title The Wreath, the newer translation by Tiina Nunnally. Much as I liked the Charles Archer translation which I read in high school, the Nunnally is superb.
