fact that the mid-19th Century Vikings still are, experiencing Krista Hart, as she carefully at a visiting circus is a wild man, who in a Cage-trapped and presented to the audience like an animal. He comes from an unknown island and has suffered from England's coast shipwreck. Since no one could understand his language and he looked so different than the English, he was captured and is now exhibited as an attraction, "The Last Barbarian". Krista takes pity on the great, proud warriors and asks her father to buy him free. Her father is a scientist and understands the old Nordic language, and so he takes from Leif Draugr with himself, and informed him. In a short time, he teaches the wild man all know this has to occur in London as a gentleman. Krista is fascinated against her will from the beginning rather boorish Vikings. She knows that he still must learn a lot and not always intentionally violates decency and morality. And one day she realizes she has fallen in love with Leif. But their love is hopeless, because they come from completely different worlds, and Leif has sworn an oath to his father that he will return to the island Draugr.
It is well portrayed and read amusing to meet two such different people. Many a misunderstanding caused by the diversity of cultures, which come from Leif and Krista. But Krista is not bitchy, and not unfair, it puts on Leif understanding of what they are very sympathetic makes. It is not a typical female representative of the Victorian age, because even though she comes from noble family, she went to a regulated activity, it is the publisher of a woman Gazette, which, however, deals not only with specifically female issues but also political and economic grievances appeals open . Therefore, it is a thorn in the number of entrepreneurs and brings with her open criticism of themselves and their employees in danger. Leif is doing very soon become indispensable, for in it she has an attentive and reliable protector.
The precise description of the different locations of the novel provides a color picture of that time. Although the love story is important, But she won by the overall story in depth. The old home know Leif Krista learns can understand their conflicts and doubts well, for here is really clear how much different life and culture in the various action types.
was not as quite credible to me the race, because there described the "timing" Although additional excitement to the action, but it fits just not at that time in the time. Overall, it is
a well-written, exciting love story with a lot of heart, but also the mind is not too short. Despite several minor weaknesses, I think it's an entertaining and readable book, ideal for leisurely Schmöker hours.
