5.0 out of 5 stars
A fantastic tale of an age near lost in the mists of time...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Eiriksdottir: A Tale of Dreams and Luck : A Novel (Hardcover)
This book is very involving. It details the third expedition to Vinland (Newfoundland- north America ot the Geographically challenged) by Freydis Eiriksdottir, bastard child of Erik the Red, and half-sister to Leif Eriksson. It's a fantastic tale, showing how women lived some 11 centuries ago, a detailed examination of events leading to a disasterous, bloody climax. (the plot. NOt the book. The book is great) Buy it!!!
4.0 out of 5 stars
A feminist explorer,
By suzy M. slavin (Montreal, Quebec Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eiriksdottir: A Tale of Dreams and Luck : A Novel (Hardcover)
Extremely well-written, using vocabulary evoking the period, the author takes an event with little historical documentation and creates a story that is both plausible and a little fantastic. There is a good feeling for daily life, the difficulty of living with the elements, climate and struggle to survive. Characters are well developed if not entirely believable. I found the ending quite good, bringing all the pieces to their possible historical end.
