by Chicago Review Press Honestly, you start a book called Avalon and what do you think you'll be reading? Avalon is one of my three favourites of hers - the others are A re-read of an old favourite.
Still enjoyed it immensely and found myself looking up all sorts of thought provoking aspects of the book - so a great purchase in my view!
I found no passion strong enough for him to take the Cloth, and I found no love interest strong enough between or among any characters of the book to create an enduring love story.
I now have a better understanding of how the very important Norman conquest came to be and why the Normans came to sit on the throne of England.A wonderful historical saga of the tenth century.

Here is a link to my review:Based on this novel, I'm not sure why Anya Seton has such a reputation as a great historical writer. The part of the book where one of the main characters lives in Iceland and Greenland (and for a time gives up her religion) was the most engaging for me, as it wasn't beating me over the head with religious issues. You can tell the extensive research that went into this book and I found that interesting, but the plot was ineffective. 42,68 zł While Seton definitely did make the Icelandic characters speak in a way that parrots the syntax of the sagas, she really needed to research more than the most superficiIt's a pretty serious concern when you can't actually find the romance or the history in a historical romance novel, right? 'Seductive, atmospheric, intriguing' * Kate Mosse on GREEN DARKNESS * 'Miss Seton's enthusiasm for both character and period is infectious.' Fast-moving, exciting and all-action. This book follows Rumon, a French prince with an insatiable wanderlust looking for the sacred Isle of Avalon, and has him cross paths with a young Cornish girl whose mother claims they are descended from sling Arthur. 42,97 zł I can see that you are not at peace with yourself.”Another captivating -- albeit very very dark --historical novel by the talented Anya Seton. The up and down see saw of Merewyn's and Ruman's star crossed love was heartbreaking at times. Rumon, descendaant of Charlemagne and King Arthur journeys from his native Provence to England, which is being torn apart by rifts between Christian and pagan, and violent invasions and raids by Vikings and Danes.A wonderful historical saga of the tenth century. so we can make improvements.

A deathbed confession and Rumons promise to the dying woman prevent his ever telling her of her true parentage as he conveys her to her Aunt Merewyn, a nun in ShaftI have long owned this Anya Seton book, but never read it before. I love Anya Seton's writings and this is an unusual setting ... I felt like I was in three different plots by the end: with Alfrida in the beggining and then Rumon's little whiny stage then in iceland. Please try again. Avalon is one of my three favourites of hers - the others are Meh.
