Product Description
Elsa Anders's dream of marrying Peder Ramstad is about to come true. But as this independent, strong-willed woman discovers her own creative gifts--a love for travel, painting, and the sea--can she find happiness with a captain who insists upon leaving her safely on shore?
Leaving their home in Norway behind, Elsa and Peder embark on a new life inwith their closest friends, including: Kaatje Jansen, a woman seeking a new beginning for the sake of her marriage and for the child growing within her; Elsa's sister Tora, a sly young vixen who knows exactly what she wants--and exactly how to get it; and Karl Martensen, a man torn between his friendship for Peder and a forbidden, secret love for Elsa, a man tormented by emotions that threaten to ruin them all.
From the gentle hills of Bergen, Norway, to the rocky coast of Camden, Maine, and across the crashing, danger-filled waves of the open sea--experience an epic saga of perseverance and passion, faith and fidelity, in the Northern Lights series: the new historical series by Lisa Tawn Bergren.

 | Great read -- ready for the next book in the series! Aug 28, 2006 |
Although Bergren writes in a Christian context, this is by no means a trite "message story." The characters are deeply, richly written, frequently flawed and floundering. They (and the reader) are caught up in the circumstances of the story, each leading naturally to the next situation. In the end, the story is resolved, with enough questions and concern for the characters to invite the reader to move on to the next book. Believers and non-believers will easily become absorbed in the lives of Elsa, Peder and their friends and family.
I rate books as follows:
***** Fun and meaningful book, or changed/challenged me in a positive way.
****Really fun or meaningful; well worth the time.
***Pleasantly skimmed the surface; not memorable.
**Plodded through.
*Abandoned; very flawed.

A Delightful read with an excellent plot and loving characters.
I found myself completely entertained with this novel. | | |  | A great novel! Nov 11, 2001 |
| I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it! | | | | well written but leaves you hanging Nov 9, 2000 |
| This book is definitely written well and a good read. However, after reading 380 pages, only 2 characters were left in a good situation. The other three were either in danger, abandoned, or unsure of the future when the book ended. It's like being left hanging at the commercial except that I've gone to the trouble of reading 300 pages to only be left hanging. Also these three characters had their problems from the beginning of the book and hardly anything had changed for them after 300 pages!! Ridiculous!! I think the author just wants to keep us hooked so we'll read the rest of the series. | | | | What a wonderful Norwegian Tale! May 7, 2000 |
| I have read books written by Lisa before and enjoyed them but this book surpases them by far. I love the Norwegian history and the language, as it is my own heritage and it reminds me of my Great Grandmother. The tale of the Norwegian immigrants tells the story of more than one family and covers so many difficulties and hardships that the immigrants and so many families faced then and now. The characters come to life and are so intwined with each other, but still each have there own stories. I so appreciate the way the characters rely on God, but are still real people with the tempatations that we face. The learn that God's way is best, but not always the first time. I felt encouraged as I read the book. What a wonderful way to spend a lazy weekend. Thanks for the wonderful new style of writing that you have started in this book, Lisa. The history is great and I can't wait to read the next book. | | | Write your own review about The Captain's Bride (Northern Lights)
