In imagining a Viking, a certain image springs to mind: a barbaric warrior, leaping ashore from a longboat, and ready to terrorize the hapless local population of a northern European town. Yet while such characters define our imagination of the Viking Age today, they were in the minority. Instead, in the time-stopping soils, water, and ice of the North, Eleanor Barraclough excavates a preserved lost world, one that reimagines a misunderstood society.

This is an excellent recording of a book that I really liked but didn’t love, mostly because the author was so incredibly honest and incisive about how little we can discern or conclude from the scant historical and archaeological records about the lives of ordinary people. (And about how what we can discern we must behold in all its complexity.) No knock to the book - it’s astute, insightful, and truthful given what we have to go off of! But worth knowing before you, reader, commit.
