‘Freydis’ tells an epic tale
For those of us who grew up surrounded by the forests of Wisconsin, it is hard to imagine the harsh, nearly treeless landscape that is Iceland and Greenland. But Gunhild Haugnes makes it all come alive in “Freydis,” the first of her Daughters of Freya saga.
Historically, Viking raider Eirik Raude (aka, “Eirik the Red”) discovered Greenland and founded a colony there.
