Summary: I still miss it
Review: This was the first big book I ever read, and I became engulfed in it's world. I didn't even know that the Norse had been there when I first picked up the book off the work cafeteria book shelf and was intregued and enchanted by the cover art so it was all new to me as I read. The book is very detailed and realistic and spans a great time frame. I also took a long time over reading it, and cried when it finnished, wanting to know what happened to the people in the book who I then knew and cared about. I long to see a film of it, though it would be a pretty epic undertaking to get it right or even close. I feel very personally involved in the story, and it is still a part of my psyche though I read it 10 years ago. If you like intrecate detail and have the time it takes, you too can go to Nordic age Greenland. Before reading this I had barely been able to complete a short novel, so the length is not an impediment, it gives you lots of time to be there. Learn, and enjoy!
