Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I'm a history buff and this book was, to me, a wonderful walk thru the Medieval period. It describes daily life, business practices, travel, family relationships, homes, family & friend relationships, the relocation of the Pope to Avignon etc. etc. I thought Iris Origo's form of writing was flowing and not in one part of the book did it drag or become boring. I intend to read more by Iris Origo.
