Rating: 5 out of 5

I always enjoy and can relate to Jan Black's lively and realistic characters and her Viking hero and Irish heroine in 'Far After Gold' are no exception. Ms Black shows the reader their feelings, actions and thoughts and excels in placing them in situations where both are 'right'. The tough but tender romantic conflict between them was very well done and kept me reading and interested throughout.Also, there is history and social history deftly woven into this story, so that a reader is transported back vividly into the Viking past.I thoroughly enjoyed this novel, was captivated by it. If you're looking for a romance about 'real' Vikings, I urge you to try 'Far After Gold'.
