The Sea Road

A haunting and compelling historical novel, THE SEA ROAD is an ambitious re-telling of the Viking exploration of the North Atlantic from the viewpoint of one extraordinary woman. Taking the accidental discovery of North America as its focal point, what emerges is a multi-layered voyage into the unknown – the personal, geographical and the spiritual – all recounted with wonderfully rich, atmospheric detail.Elphinstone's feel for character, period and landscape is as spellbinding as her ability to describe issues of universal interest and in THE SEA ROAD she has produced a historical novel of outstanding quality.
