Any suggestions for good historical fiction books about Norway or Sweden?

If the books can be gotten at a cheap price with a Nook ereader, all the better...

I have to admit, I have been tried to read the book, it was not a easy book to read, I always got sleepy by reading it - but I was looking at the film Kristin Lavransdatter, who was made into a movie in the early 1990s (I think).. It is a great movie, but I have to admit - it was 3.5 hour I never get back - Boring as hell - and even with the fact it was from the 13/14 century in Norway, not Sweden it was booring... Sigrid Undset might be one of the 20th centuries great Norwegian writers - but she wrote a book who was made into a movie who was very, very booring...

I know, it exist a few great book, from that age who is far more better than Kristin Lavransdatter.. And maybe also more easy to read...
