Book excerpt: "A haunting and compelling historical novel, The Sea Road is an ambitious retelling of the Viking exploration of the North Atlantic from the viewpoint of one extraordinary woman. Taking the accidential discovery of North America as its focal point, what emerges is a multi-layered voyage into the unknown - the personal, the 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 the The Sea Road she has produced a historical novel of outstanding quality.".
