Erlend lives.
I am done with Part III Erlend Nikulausson although Sigrid Undset is not. I am twelve pages into The Cross, Part One, Kinship's Dues.
Erlend's dues never come due. Guy has more lives than a cat. Riding, literally, to his, and Kristin's, rescue agayne: Simon Andresson. In brief summary: Simon and three others go to have audience with King Magnus. Everybody in 14th century Norway is related. Magnus is related to the Gang of Four. Apparently it is the accepted practice in dealings with kings to threaten them. At least it was in 14th century Norway. At least in this meeting with King Magnus. The happy result of threatened regicide is the granting of one's wishes, in this case Erlend's release.
Simon is pissed. Simon got little thanks from Kristin for Erlend's release. Kristin only has eyes for Erlend. He "bewitched" her, Simon thinks to himself at the coming home fest. Kristin's monovision excludes even her children. The youngest ones don't recognize her when they are all reunited.
Kristin is the horniest female personage I ever virtually met. She is wild with passion for Erlend while he is in gaol, where they steal make-out moments, and goes starfish without end amen upon his release.
Erlend was dispossessed of his Husaby manor although not his life and the family has settled in Jorundgaard, on her parent's estate where Kristin grew up. Now Kristin misses the good old bad old days so recently past. The thrill, erotic and otherwise, of danger? I don't know. Now--only twelve pages into Kinship's Dues, so who knows!--it seems Kristin is about to get annoyed with Erlend agayne, not with his recklessness this time, but with his sedentariness. Oy vey, Kristin. Remind me never to take up with a 14th century Norwegian girl, however hypersexed.
