The story is epic in its magnitude, in its calm, steady progress and unhurrying rhythm, in its vast and intimate humanity. The author looks upon his characters with a great, all-tolerant sympathy, aloof yet kindly, as a god. A more objective work of fiction would be hard to find. Hamsun won the Noble Prize in 1920 for this book.

I couldn't put this book about farming "pioneers" in Norway down. I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in historical fiction. There is a reason it won the Nobel Prize. The characters in the story are well developed and you want to keep reading to find out what happens to them.
