Leonard, thanks for mentioning the Kristin Lavransdatter trilogy. Three friends have recommended it lately, and you reminded me to put it on my summer reading list. They wept when they read it. Did you weep?
Vikings had "runes"?
A "vik" is the Norse word for bay, yes?
"Evict" comes from the Latin.
(a) This sounds reminiscent of Robin Cook's books ... is it?
(b) The plague is still with us, every year it breaks out somewhere, but can be kept in check, now that we know cause / transmission ... which they didn't really know in the middle ages.
(c) There's a mutation in human DNA ... no copies, catch plague die, one copy, catch plague, recover, two copies, don't catch plaque. Turns out to be a protection against AIDS in the modern world.
