A review by heidisreads
When We Were Vikings by Andrew David MacDonald

4.0

This powerful story is even more dynamic because it is told from the perspective of Zelda, a young woman born with brain damage due to fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. For years Gert and Zelda have taken care of each other and followed some basic rules. But, after Zelda uncovers one of her brother's dangerous secrets, she begins a quest (Zelda has a thing for Vikings) to become her own legend - and save her tribe. This story has an unforgettable cast of characters and will leave you smiling as the tears dry on your cheeks.
