The Scarlet Lion - Elizabeth Chadwick

Shields of Pride - Elizabeth Chadwick

This is a book that has been read and enjoyed by three generations of my family; myself (twenty-something), my mother (forty something) and my grandmother (wouldn't forgive me for giving away her age) all loved this book. The plot is extremely satisfying and has plenty of twists to keep even the most astute people guessing. The characters are real and compelling; whenever one or other of them is in danger I found myself really on the edge of my seat and honestly worried about them.

The Conquest - Elizabeth Chadwick

For Christmas one of my parcels from my parents was a bag full of books, which included three Elizabeth Chadwick books. Elizabeth Chadwick is an author of historical fiction and being a fan of this style of book I was rather looking forward to reading one. The book I chose to read first was The Conquest and sat down to devour it from cover to cover. Unfortunately however the book just wasn t for me and although the premise of the book interested me I can t say I particularly enjoyed reading it. == The Plot == Alith is married to Godwin and leading a very happy life. She has a loving husband who understands her and her own bit of independence. That is however until ...
