“The story is well told, blending solid historical fact with plausible inter personal relationships and the grim and often brutal reality of early medieval life; the ‘magical’ element in the story may sit uneasily with some readers, but given the total belief in the supernatural of the people at time I found that this added to the sense of time and place.”
