Gudrid has been betrothed since birth to Leif Eiriksson, but she marries handsome Einar instead. She's subsequently widowed, remarries, and is widowed again. Gudrid is prophesied to marry a third time, but will she ever make it to the place Leif calls Wine Land? This historical novel based on medieval sagas offers a wealth of detail about Viking seafaring culture and a strong-willed, adventurous protagonist.
