Sigrid Undset’s Catherine of Siena is critically acclaimed as one of the best biographies of this well known, and amazing fourteenth-century saint. Known for her historical fiction, which won her the Nobel Prize for literature in 1928, Undset based this factual work on primary sources, her own experiences living in Italy, and her profound understanding of the human heart. One of the greatest novelists of the twentieth century, Undset was no stranger to hagiography. Her meticulous research of medieval times, which bore such fruit in her multi-volume masterpieces Kristin Lavransdatter and The Master of Hestviken, acquainted her with some of the holy men and women produced by the Age of Faith. Their exemplary lives left a deep impression upon the author, an impression Undset credited as one of her reasons for entering the Church in 1924. Catherine of Siena was a particular favorite of Undset, who also was a Third Order Dominican. An extraordinarily active, intelligent, and courageous woman, Catherine at an early age devoted herself to the love of God. The intensity of her prayer, sacrifice, and service to the poor won her a reputation for holiness and wisdom, and she was called upon to make peace between warring nobles. Believing that peace in Italy could be achieved only if the Pope, then living in France, returned to Rome, Catherine boldly traveled to Avignon to meet with Pope Gregory XI. With sensitivity to the zealous love of God and man that permeated the life of Saint Catherine, Undset presents a most moving and memorable portrait of one of the greatest women of all time.

I fell in love with Sigrid Undset while reading Kristin Lavransdatter and was intrigued to read this biography of St. Catherine in our church book club during Lent. Sigrid doesn’t disappoint. The political and cultural context of her life was complex, yet Sigrid makes Catherine’s story relevant and understandable. Sigrid weaves her own spiritual insights into Catherine’s story, revealing a deep spiritual life of her own (I didn’t realize that Sigrid was also a third order Dominican like Catherine). Some in our bookclub complained that the biography focused too much on the historical and cultural background of the time and not enough on Catherine’s spirituality. I thought the background was necessary to fully comprehend her as a person, as well as the difficulties she encountered and overcame in order to accomplish God’s will in her life. Reading the biography inspired many in our bookclub to read Catherine’s dialogues and now they have the proper background and context in which to read them.
