I am surprised this one is still on my shelf. It was one of the most original stories I had read in years. The main character begins life as a Thrall which is a slave, she learns healing and becomes a kind of witch. Her fortunes continue in this up and down manner, exalted to despised and sometimes loved. It is the story of the Viking Culture, of commerce, politics religion and the politics of religion. There is certainly romance and there is great loyalty. I hope some one orders it so this great work does not sit unappreciated on my shelf.
