Book Description
Laura Kinsale's description of her classic title, from her website:
"Some ten years ago, I read a medieval poem full of color and adventure and knights and mysterious ladies. It opened an unknown world to me, a place of wild dangerous forests and white castles, of mud and glorious spectacle, a time when blackbirds really were baked in pies. Against this rich and multi-hued background, I wrote a story about a powerful, devious woman desperate to reach refuge, and a knight--a true knight who never wavered once he swore his heart, a man who could not comprehend deceit."
This title is notable for its use of Middle English (thus the Special Collector's Edition with Glossary). Some readers find this a particularly challenging read due to the obscure language. Others find that once they grow accustomed to the rhythm of the language, it is an easy ready.
