Gone Viking

By: Helen Russell

Narrated by: Juliette Burton

Be bold. Be brave. Be Viking....

The uplifting, laugh out loud debut novel from the best-selling author of The Year of Living Danishly.

Frazzled mum Alice Ray likes to think she’s on top everything - she has four bags-for-life in the boot of her car for heaven's sake. But after spectacularly embarrassing herself at work, she finally gives in to her sister’s pleas to take a much-needed break. But this is not the luxury spa holiday Alice hoped for - instead, she finds herself in Denmark, in the middle of nowhere, on a ‘How to be a Viking’ getaway.

Can the two sisters finally learn to get along, or will learning to embrace their inner warriors just make them better at fighting? Two sisters. One Scandi holiday they'll never forget...

A good break from life.

This book grows on you. Couldn’t get into it at first. But it’s a good break from life. Funny

A good find yourself story!

Alice was a bit too whiney for me in the beginning. But, so glad I kept listening!

Starts Slow but Worth the Listen

At first, I was not sure I would like this book. Started slow. As the story progressed, I became more and more engrossed in the story. At the end, this story was well worth the time. It even has some real moments of wisdom. Recommended!

Midlife coming of age

Love Helen Russell’s writing style. I read Gone Viking after finishing her book a year of living Dainishly. Her wit and cynicism along with the slow evolution of the main character, left this self professed type A personality, feeling hopeful, excited and “hygge”. Definitely recommend both books!

Good Fun!

This was such s s fun ride through Scandinavia!
The writing is fun and witty and narration is FANTASTIC! If you liked “ The Year of Living Danishly” then you’ll love this!
