Years later, she had never forgiven the old man, nor forgotten her mother's screams. She had tried to follow the Viking's longship, running hard for the track by the loch. Mongfind, her half-sister, older and bigger than her by two summers, had grabbed her. After hearing Mongfind's shouts, Giric himself had seized and flung the little one, flailing and punching, into the ancient black broch that gave the people their name. She had hammered on the locked door until her knuckles were bloodied, then sprinted up the winding staircase to the roof of the broch. Seeing a flash of her Ma's bright red hair in the longship's bowels, she had clambered right over the thick circular walls of the broch and leapt down. "Me, too! " she yelled in her later dreams, though she could not remember if she spoke the words. She only knew that if the ship sailed, she would never see her mother again. Seven years old, I knew this! But then bastards have to grow up fast. She landed in a mess of heather, winded and broken.

Bindweed buried her mentor on their island home and mourned for three nights, as custom demanded. On the dawn of the fourth day, she poured the ashes of a barley loaf over the new grave and squeezed a final tear from her smarting eyes. Enough of that, as Maeve would say. I respected her as a healer, but no deeper feeling than that. She took me in for her own convenience and laughed at my grief. Though she did keep the secret of the smaller cave, so there was that. Bindweed patted the cold earth once, in valediction, and turned back to the small cave where she and the Irish wise-woman had made a dwelling and a home of sorts She was Bindweed Silverhair, wise-woman of the loch, keeper of the island pool, the one maidens and womenfolk turned to so she might heal their hurts.

The Greenlanders by Jane Smiley Greenland was settled in around 985 by Erik the Red, who had been outlawed from Iceland for murder. The colony survived for several hundred years, but how and why it came to an end is still up for debate. This meticulously researched saga imagines life in Norse Greenland during the final decades of the settlement. I had spent several years researching this part of Norse history before I discovered this novel, including two summers exploring Norse ruins in Greenland. But reading The Greenlanders was a revelation: for the first time, I felt I understood what it might have been like to live through this society's slow decline towards oblivion.
Spy or assassin, Bindweed wondered, watching his retreating back. He made for her cave-house as if he had walked the path a hundred times, though she doubted he sought her skill in herb-lore. Still she did not stir. The first snare on the trail he avoided with a snort of humour, the second, set below a seeming bed of innocent pine needles, swallowed him whole. Bindweed was out of the holly and sprinting before the Viking had stopped his bellow of surprise. A quick jerk of the rope hidden by ivy had the nets and timber unravelling and the trap closed. She quickly pinned it down, panting hard as she rolled the lock-stone in place. Thirteen feet below, in the round pit it had taken her three summers to dig and harden with fire, the black Norse prowled, thumping the sheer walls and slamming the mud-churned floor. He would not look at her. Bindweed did not care. "No one comes here, " she lied—why tell truth to the enemy? "Yell away, " she added, when the stranger's mighty chest swelled like organ bellows.
She chuckled leaning back on her elbows, enjoying the view of naked flesh being revealed. She rose up on her..

To their fright-frozen minds, Hakan was another of the dreaded Norse, sweeping over the land like a plague and leaving little in the wake.

She scrambled to rise and a searing pain in her left foot seized her whole leg. Too shattered to scream, too shocked to move, she watched the Viking longship and her mother sail away. Irish Maeve, old and wrinkled as a dried out leather flask, prodded her with her walking stick. "You will do, now get up. There's work! " Maeve ordered, laughing as she burst into tears. "Get to it, Bindweed. "She clings, " Maeve told the whispering onlookers, who smirked or shook their heads and turned away. From that day, the little girl was Maeve's servant. The name her mother gave her was forgotten and all knew her as Bindweed. Later, Bindweed learned, a travelling tinker who had a taste for young things had wanted to buy her, but Irish Maeve had refused his offer. But only because I was quick and clever. She never forgot how the old woman had laughed at her hurt and grief, how the others in her father's fort had turned away. She never saw her mother again. Six years later Irish Maeve died in her sleep.
