I was hoping to read more of this story, and just found out it's part of the Suffolk Trilogy by Norah Lofts. Lots of historical feeling and tidbits. Romance, reality, Great read! Knights, Moors, English, Spaniards, bowmen, plague. It's got it all. Check it out! ( i did, at the library! ) Lots of good stuff at the library. I have to buy volume 2 since they don't have it.... sigh.

This book takes place in midieval England. It is a beautiful story about a knight and his lady and all of the hard ships that they suffer apart. He leaves her and their children at a beautiful house that he built for them without food or furniture while he goes off to earn money for them. She faces a plague, out-laws, starvation, and humiliation. He faces death, slavery, and longing. It is a beautiful love story, probably one of the best that I have ever read. Great for a rainy day with a box of tissues. I loved it!
