Tracey Warr is a writer based in Wales and France, and has published novels and books on contemporary art. She was Senior Lecturer, teaching and researching on art history and theory of the 20th and 21st centuries, at Oxford Brookes University, Bauhaus University and Dartington College of Arts.
Tracey opens the doors to three cultures: the Norwegians, post-Charlemagne Frankish and the newly Norse-dominated corner of Wales. Again Tracey's research is thorough and evident while religions, customs and language hold us as much enthralled as the politicking. (Bookbag review) Those who want a leisurely, well-researched story can settle down happily with The Viking Hostage. (Historical Novel Society review) From the very first page I was gripped. The Viking Hostage certainly took me hostage! I was transported into the world of the characters, the smells, the views, the feelings, Tracey has the ability to pull you into the time and world of the book. I can't rave about this book enough, read it, you won't be disappointed. (Goodreads.com review) I was gripped from the start of 'The Viking Hostage', a richly detailed and compelling read. (Goodreads.com review) From Viking raids on monasteries to power struggles between noble French households, this is a wonderful story of love, arranged marriages, adventure, friendship, loyalty and betrayal. Don't be put off by the wealth of historical detail in this novel.(Nudge review)
