5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Book about love and redemption,
This review is from: The Wedding Knight (Mass Market Paperback)
Starting with the basics: I really enjoyed this book. It was a fast paced page turner that had me up most of the night. Great medieval story, with some nice historical additions added in-- like visiting knights from the crusades. Melissande Deverell and Lucien Barret were childhood friends, along with Lucian's younger brother Roarke. At the age of eight, Mel is taken away to live in a convent in France(she is the youngest sister, this was expected). Meanwhile, many things happen in the brother's lives that make Lucien indebted to Roarke. Lucien goes off to fight in the crusades, but returns when his brother requests that he "rescues" Melissande from the convent so he could marry her. Lucien accepts this dictate.
Lucien has a lot of self-contempt and anger for himself. He thinks himself unworthy of love and goodness. Basically, he believes all, including God, have abandonded him. Mel is devout, strong and has a few "issues" herself. Many things happen on the journey back to England that begin to heal Lucien and awaken Mel. It is a beautiful story that I do not want to give away. It is really about redemption, about a man forgiving himself in order to love. Similar books I have read: Born in Sin by Kinley MacGregor |
