“This small but potent volume, told with a wry sense of dark humor paints a vivid picture of a turbulent 9th century Scotland...Written with a light touch that flows pleasantly, even the occasionally bloody occurrences in the tale, the descriptions of religious routine and custom, and the ever-present sense the characters have of never being in full control, this is a delightful read...The minute details of daily life in the time and place are a satisfying sauce added to the meat of a good tale, told well.”
