5.0 out of 5 stars So sad, a lovely book, August 15, 2000

This review is from: Knight's Acre (Hardcover)

This book takes place in midieval England. It is a beautiful story about a knight and his lady and all of the hard ships that they suffer apart. He leaves her and their children at a beautiful house that he built for them without food or furniture while he goes off to earn money for them. She faces a plague, out-laws, starvation, and humiliation. He faces death, slavery, and longing. It is a beautiful love story. Great for a rainy day with a box of tissues. I loved it!

1.0 out of 5 stars Too long and too predictable, August 1, 2005

This review is from: Knight's Acre (Hardcover)

I was thrilled with Lofts' book "A Wayside Tavern" and I opened this book expecting more great story telling. Instead, I found at best a cheesy romance loaded with predictability and about 100 pages more than it really took to tell this sad little story. I found the characters rather unlikeable and many of the twists that could have made the tale interesting were never explored. The author took the easy road to the climax of the book and personally, I could care less what happens to any of the characters in the sequels. The "other woman" is a tramp predictably written as wild and unpredictable. The long suffering loyal wife continues to suffer and the wandering knight who wanders in the worst of ways seems to be an immature, unreliable, weak-willed twit who pretty much deserves what is coming to him - though his family certainly deserved better than he ever provided. Turn on Jerry Springer and save your reading time for something of more merit.
