Nobel Prize-winning author Sigrid Undset’s heartfelt biography portrays one of the most dynamic women ever to live.

Recently declared the patron saint of Europe, her holiness and knowledge continue to inspire all who read her story. Having extensively researched Medieval Europe for her seminal works of historical fiction, Sigrid Undset was uniquely qualified to study primary sources and breathe life into the biography of St Catherine.
