# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born in Denmark in 1882 and raised in Norway, Sigrid Undset published her first historical fiction in 1907. Between 1920 and 1922 she released the three volumes of Kristin Lavransdatter, a trilogy following one woman from birth to death in medieval Norway — a work that became her signature. The Nobel Prize came in 1928. When Nazi Germany invaded and occupied Norway in 1940, her opposition forced her into exile in the United States. She returned in 1945 after the war ended in Europe, and died four years later in 1949.
