VINLAND (POLYGON) (PB)

Vinland follows the turbulent life of Ranald Sigmundson, born into the Dark Ages when Orkney was torn between its Viking past and its Christian future. Struggling to understand the conflicts of his home, Ranald seeks adventure and knowledge across the seas, his journeys taking him as far as Norway, Iceland and Ireland. In this novel, the seamanship, marriage customs, beliefs and traditions of Ranald’s time are brought vibrantly to life, and the traditional poetry interwoven with the prose adds a richness and poignancy to his tale.
