The Normans are circling, waiting their turn to pounce on the English throne and wrest it away from the Anglo-Saxon barons. King Edward the Confessor, the childless, half Norman 'Virgin King' does his Machiavellian best to aid them. Earl Lovric of Mercia and his wife, Godiva are inevitably drawn into the machinations at Court. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

I’ve tagged it British Literature but Nerys Jones was Welsh, and it is very sad indeed that she did not live to see her first novel published. According to the blurb on the back of the book, she had a joint PhD in Celtic languages and literatures, and sociology. She was a lecturer at Harvard before she started writing fiction in 2004, but she died in 2007. So this is the only book we can enjoy by this talented writer. It’s a shame, because the only other authors I can think of who do this type of light historical fiction so well are Tracy Chevalier, Michelle Lovric and Sarah Dunant.
