I read The Island House by Posie Graeme-Evans which is about a young Australian woman, Freya, who inherits a small island off Scotland from her father. The story is told in two time periods - the present and 800 AD when Christianity has come to the island and also Viking raids. At that time a young girl, Signy, survives a Viking raid. So the stories are in tandem with chapters being in the two time periods. Freya sees visions which help her learn the mystery of who lived on the island hundreds of years ago. There are romantic stories in both time periods. Signy is an important character and she is exposed to the extremes of the Christians at that time and she is conflicted as to what she decides to believe. Tedious. 21/2/5Sunday, July 20, 2014
