About this book
Morris finished this romance from his deathbed, dictating the last chapters, and it carries a tender, valedictory feeling. Osberne and Elfhild are children who grow into lovers while living on opposite banks of a river so wide and fierce that no one can cross it. They can see and speak to each other but never touch, and when war scatters Elfhild's people she disappears entirely. Armed with a sword given him by a strange guardian, Osberne leaves home, learns soldiering, and spends years fighting and wandering in the hope of finding her again. The uncrossable flood becomes a quiet image of everything that keeps people apart, and of the patience it takes to overcome it.
