Outstanding book. If you have not read a book by Anya Seton pick one up. Much better than her modern day contemparary Phillipa Gregory (I like Phillipa Gregory too) Very good mix of history, romance and advenure. You will learn a lot about Vikings, Greenland, Ice land are America's early settlers. Awesome book.

Based on historical fact, this fictional account of the early interactions of the Vikings and Britain along with the settling of Greenland and North America allowed me to put a "face" to that part of history that had been so elusive.

I couldn't put this book down! I love Anya Seton and her books. It is a wonderful story, detailed and interesting. I read one review where someone said that it's a tale of 2 people's love, I don't agree-there is so much more to it! Plus, Merewyn did love her Viking husband...I won't say anything else, just read the book & you'll know.

a very interesting story. Not my favorite but definitely has adventures that other books do lack. This book is OLD and has yellowing on pages and the binding inside is cracking but still intact.
