½Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten.I love books that are part travelogue, part personal memoir, party historical. It’s a great way to tell a story.
Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten.I enjoyed this as the author takes a journey to find out the history of her ancestors. I appreciated learning more about Norse and Viking history as I’m not very familiar with it, and I loved how the author both learns and shares genealogical knowledge with us too.

Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten.I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. Memoir, history, dna, travel. It has everything I enjoy reading and made the perfect 'relax before bed' reading.
