Did you read Kristin Lavransdatter by Sigrid Unset? I think it won the Nobel Prize in 1921 or 1922. I read it about 10 years ago or so, and liked it a lot, although it was sooooo long. My great great grandfather was Norwegian and my great great grandmother was half Norwegian, half German. So I liked reading Kristin Lavransdatter for that reason as well as the fact that it was really immersive, I felt like I was in medieval Norway.

I never read any Grisham books. My middle sister went through a phase where she was reading them. She liked A Painted House the best, but it is unusual as it is not a mystery. I can't be TOO hard on Mississippi as my father is from there, as is Elvis. 
I'm not sure where my ancestors were from in Norway. Apparently, Mobile was a main port back in the day, all the bananas coming into the US came in through Mobile at one point. Anyway, many Norwegian trading ships came into Mobile. We surmise our ancestor was a sailor on one of these ships and liked Mobile and went home to Norway and told them how great it was. This would have been my great, great grandfather. He came over with his wife and his Nielsen cousin. They settled in Coden and a few more of their Johnson and Nielsen kin came over. They were all commercial fishermen.
My sister may know where they were from in Norway as she did the whole genealogy.com thing.

That's cool!
No, I haven't read it (For some reason I read few Norwegian books. I guess I will at some point though.
I can recommend a trilogy by Jan Ove Ekeberg *looks for English title*
Don't think it's been translated If they do translate it (correctly) it will be called something like "In the age (or "time") of the sword"

Fair warning: Kristin Lavransdatter was the longest book I ever read, at 1,000 plus pages! I decided to read it since it was a Nobel winner and I figured it would be worth the investment.
