Book Description

Publication Date: April 12, 1986

Great efforts are now being put forward to found a "Garden City," which shall be a veritable Eden planted in the midst of orchards, and whose inhabitants shall live in comfort and comparative repose.

But such a city cannot exist, or cannot long remain the Eden which it aims to be in its outward form, unless the majority of its inhabitants have subdued and conquered the inward selfishness.......

5.0 out of 5 stars Love and war against the backdrop of the Crusades, September 28, 2009

By 

Rascal the Cat (Boston) - See all my reviews

This review is from: All Things Are Lights (Hardcover)

This is perhaps my all-time favorite book. It has everything; war, romance, religious intolerance, second chances and redemption. Every time I have lent this book out, I have lost it, because to read it is to fall in love with it...

As a historian, I can tell you that the author knows his history; there are no glaring errors the likes of which keep me from reading most historical fiction. As a writer, I can tell you that the author knows how to write. As a die-hard romantic, I can tell you that this books satisfies at levels of my soul that remain untouched by most novels.

You can access the book online at http://bobshea.net/all_things_are_lights.html. The author's son as posted the book with a license through Creative Commons. But do yourself a favor and track down a copy. You'll want to own and return to this world again and again...

5.0 out of 5 stars Big...Thrilling...Spectacular historical..Highly Recommended, August 18, 2001

By 

Linda Hepworth "Avid Mystery Reader" (San Antonio, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: All Things Are Lights (Mass Market Paperback)

Historical fiction has romance, intrigue, spies, torture, war and the Knights Templar. Takes place during the Inquistion and France's religious crusade into Egypt. The book revolves around a wandering troubadour/knight and the two women he has loved, both unattainable; and the knight he hates and wants to kill, but cannot because he is close to the King.

Very historical detailed book.

A very enjoyable book...Don't be thrown off by the title, you'll find out what it means while reading the book.

Highly Recommended!!
