When We Were Vikings is an uplifting novel about a young woman named Zelda, an unlikely heroine whose journey will leave its readers wanting to embark on a quest of their own, because after all: We are all legends of our own making . . . 

A heart-swelling debut novel, Andrew David McDonald's When We Were Vikings is an ideal choice for fans of Matthew Quick's The Silver Linings Playbook and Mark Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.

"Zelda is a marvel, a living, breathing three-dimensional character with a voice so distinctive she leaps off the page.  When We Were Vikings is the tale of Zelda’s quest for autonomy, and MacDonald charts her course admirably." -- The New York Times
