"It was in the first week of October in the year 1391 that I first came face to face with the man who owned me…the man whose lightest word was to us, his villeins, weightier than the King’s law or the edicts of our Holy Father.…"

So began the story of Martin Reed - a serf whose resentment of the automatic rule of his feudal lord finally flared into open defiance. Encouraged by the woman he loved, Martin Reed began a new life - a life which was to culminate in the building of the House, and the founding of the dynasty who were to live there.

I love Norah Lofts...came across an old copy of one of her books, and remembered this one. Narration good, though the voices of the children a little annoying, like read kids are! characters you can relate to, with Lofts' understanding of the time presented beautifully.

Old book friend, great audio

I've been reading Norah Lofts books back to back and have not grown tired of her voice yet. Normally writers have one formula and very little but names change. Tho this is true to a certain extent the story line & the characters mainly are so real with real things happening not just HEA & HEA they live like real people with lives that struggle loves that come and go. Not everyone gets their happily
ever after and it's sad when you have fallen for this persons life and feel they deserve the happiness...but alas it's not always meant to be. But when it does happen it's all the better!
Moving on right now to the second book in this trilogy.

Fascinating tale of medieval life of common people. Well written and performed. Looking forward to to the next book in the trilogy

Impossible to put down

The history is on point here, and the characters are engaging and complex. Multiple viewpoints and narrators are handled effectively by the readers. I would have liked a little more happiness for the characters, most of whom are trying to do their best. Nevertheless, I kept listening, and I immediately downloaded the next volume in the trilogy.

Loved this at first. Wonderful historical details and story. But then—— spoiler coming soon stop reading now if you don’t want it — just one bad thing too many happens to our hero in a too pat moment that made me feel the author broke faith with me as reader. I’m like, “really? Screw you “ and put it down. Enough. I won’t be treated
Like that.
