I'm really enjoying the Island of Sylt series! The Beachcomber is not a traditional romance but more a riveting seafaring historical. The whole lifestyle is fascinating and challenging, especially for the poorest folks, and I liked that the rune stones integrated with the plot for a peek into the old Norse ways. All the characters make this tale sing, but star-crossed Jordis and Arjen were my favorites. Plenty of angst and heartbreak, but everything comes out fine in the end. 4 stars.
