I cannot praise this book enough. A gripping true story about the life and adventures of a man obsessed with acquiring silver, at virtually any cost.
Ulf is a complex character who faced many challenges and enemies throughout his violent life. He started out life in poverty and died a very rich landowner through his cunning and ruthlessness. He also has an unexpectedly compassionate temperament.
Being a fan of this genre of book, I can honestly say that this is one of the best descriptions of Viking life that I have read.
Highly recommended novel
