The tapestry central to this story actually exists and depicts the events that lead to Norman control. One particular scene woven into the tapestry shows the Bishop Odo caressing the face of his mistress. Quite possibly this was the inspiration for this work of fiction.<br /><br />The writing is intelligent and engaging. Be forewarned though, this is not a light read. It's obvious Ms. Bower spent time researching historical events and the time period for accuracy. Besides forbidden love, it's also a tale of survival and politics of the era. One just doesn't know what will happen next during the reading.Belgiehttp://marraige2last.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
