Stories can provide and communicate insights about the human experience in a way that is different from empirical research. Rather, the novel illustrates how every person's life in the family is one grand project through which they can extend, change, or replace the family legacy for themselves and their children. In particular, it exposes the mistake we make when we think of individual family members as passive beneficiaries of family legacy. When I read it recently, it profoundly affected me and led me to important realizations about how families work. The novel "Kristin Lavransdatter" by Sigrid Undset is a compelling work about family life and legacy.
