extremely well written with an excess of content and not and "packing" which, sadly, is often the case. Nora Lofts allows the reader to use their imagination. Refreshing! Will be reading the following two books in this trilogy and then other books written by this author.

If the current depressing financial situation is getting you down, this is the book to read! Norah Lofts paints a colourful, though sometimes grim picture of life in the days of Knights in armour, when life was cheap, and poor folk were owned by Lords. They worked, or they starved, sometimes to death. No-one criticized the welfare system - there was none to complain about. This is a dramatic story of hardship, such as we have never known, of survival against the odds, of love and romance, overcoming obstacles, disappointment, grief, perseverance, and success! An inspirational work, beautifully written, and well researched, this is a book you will not want to put down, and one which will no doubt lift your spirits as it did my own. The author is insightful in her construction of the many different, believable characters. I bought this book on recommendation as a distraction from current problems. It served its purpose well, completely transporting me to a bygone age. An excellent and entertaining reminder of all we have to be grateful for in the 21st century.Read full review
