It was a good book but I felt the second half didn’t quite meet the expectation of the start. A great basis for a story, clearly well researched from the historical records of the time. However as a story I felt the ending was a bit of a let down, I was left wanting some better resolution but I guess that may have distracted from the facts of the real situation. Loved the Icelandic story telling but again wanted to know more of the stories and couldn’t quite figure out the role of the fairy man. All in all a good first novel by Sally Magnusson but I was left a bit underwhelmed.
Amazing info of the time. Praise for the prose.
I was attracted to the cover of this book, depicting a pensive girl with long, blonde locks looking out at an ice-packed sea. I also found the practise of capturing Icelandic people from their shores in the fifteenth century, to work in African cities like Algiers, unusual and an interesting angle.This bit of history could have been researched and taken so much further. The book centres instead on the imagined life of one of the slaves after capture. She is Asta, a wife and mother. It would not have worried me, as fiction goes, but I was disappointed as I found the plot unbelievable, especially when an attractive elf appears to spice up Asta’s romantic life in a touch of magic or fantasy which seems out of place in the story.Still, the book does contain interesting facts, including a brief history of the Moors and a glimpse into the day-to-day activities of a wealthy household in Algiers, harem and all. The protagonist had to adapt to the psychological and long-term effects of life in a new environment and I appreciated the writer’s ability to describe the human ability to adapt and even come to appreciate aspects of altered circumstances.The art of storytelling features strongly in the book as Astor’s way of remembering her past life in Iceland and attracts her captor to her. It is the bond they eventually find to cement their relationship, about which I’ll say nothing further, at the risk of giving away too much of the story. I score it 3.5 stars.
A harsh, bleak and dramatic reality turned into a story so full of life, respect, love and colour ...... even sensuality at moments you least expect. Written in a language so beautiful and smooth that it adds an extra layer on top of the masterfully written story.I enjoyed this wonderful and emotional journey thoroughly and it leaves me a richer person. It will stay with me for a long time......and when it starts to fade, I look forward to starting over to discover new angles, depths and widths with an extra layer of colours
Who knew that in the 1600's the Icelandic people were captured as slaves. It was a beautifully written book and having the characters listed was very helpful. I cried at the end of this book.Definitely recommend it.
The real treatment of Christian slaves in Algiers is absentin this fable. We are never told that slaves were so badly treated that, despite the threat of endless beatings if they tried to escape, they continued to take the risk. They made repeated efforts to flee their cruel masters, and seldom succeeded. Slaves in Barbary fell into two broad categories. The ‘public slaves’ belonged to the ruling pasha [bey], who by right of rulership could claim an eighth of all Christians captured by the corsairs, and buy all the others he wanted at reduced prices. These slaves were housed in large prisons known as baños (baths), often in wretchedly overcrowded conditions. They were mostly used to row the corsair galleys in the pursuit of loot (and more slaves). This work was so strenuous that thousands died or went mad while chained to the oar.Slaves were resold, often repeatedly. As they aged their value naturally decreased, and owners were glad to get rid of them. The most unlucky ended up forgotten out in the desert, or in the Turkish sultan’s galleys, where some slaves rowed for decades without ever setting foot on shore.Shame on this author for not being COMPLETELY TRUTHFUL about the horrid conditions 99.9% of european slaves faced.
It is a beautiful book and the one star reviewer meant, I think, to give it many more. Read that review and ignore the single star - this is an accomplished historical novel - original, intelligent and moving. Highly recommended.
