When a comet appears in the sky over England in 1066, Ailith, a young Saxon wife, feels sure that it can only bode well, in spite of her husband's fears. With a child on its way, the couple are prosperous and content. Yet, within a year, Ailith's joy turns to heartache as her husband and her child are taken from her and the conquering Normans' advance.

Ailith's grief turns to love for a brief period with Rolf de Brize, a handsome and womanizing Norman invader. She bears him one daughter, but in the aftermath of the Battle of Hastings she discovers a betrayal she cannot forgive....

Years later, the spirited and strong-willed Julitta is determined to find happiness, and yet her life has been filled with pain: from surviving life in a brothel in Southwark to suffering the pain of a forbidden love and a bitter, loveless marriage. Her quest takes her on a Pilgrimage to Compostella to a colorful horse fair in Bordeaux, to the terrors of piracy on the open sea.

One of the best historical books I have ever heard or read I felt so drawn to the time as well as geographical locations The main characters were so beautifully brought to life The brutality of the time was also brought forward We’ve come forward with technology not not with humanity. The reader was excellent

Elizabeth Chadwick is one of my favorite historical fiction authors. She absolutely did not disappoint with this poignant middle ages love story.
I had a really tough time with the narrator. She did not have a credible voice for the young girl characters and at times it was difficult discerning whether a male or female, or even a different character was speaking.

This is wonderful love story set against the turbulent story of the Norman Conquest. Rich characters and always well researched- if you enjoy historical fiction - you will love this and all other books by Elizabeth Chadwick

Such a harsh reality of life. It is a story of great dissolutionment for the young. It cannot be labeled love if you cannot stay true. no

So much sadness.

I gave the author a shot hoping for more history than romance. Story is overly long with a predictable ending.
