(2) YA Ran's story centers on a brief idyllic period framed by two incidents of violence extraordinary even for those rough times--it's the Viking era in the last generation before the advent of Christianity. Branford's deftly drawn characters and authentic details of daily survival leave an indelible impression, while the pervasive violence forms a stark setting that renders Ran's fleeting time for love especially sweet.
