Summary

Sir Godfrey Tallboys had come home from the Crusades. Home to Knight’s Acre. But the years had brought many changes – and not only to his estate. His wife Sybilla, exhausted with struggling to keep poverty at bay, had grown old before her time. And with Sir Godfrey’s return, there was further change. With him was the Moorish slave girl who had saved his life in Spain…Tana, beautiful and beguiling, his mistress – and now she was expecting his child. Aflame with all the jealous passions of the East, Tana saw Sybilla as the obstacle to her desire. Her arrival was to alter the fortunes of the quiet Suffolk house. And in a way none of them could have possibly foreseen.

Profile Image for Elizabeth Bennett

Great story and wonderful narrator.

This, like the other two books of the 'Knights Acre' trilogy, is an excellent historical novel, with Patience Tomlinson the ideal narrator. Norah Lofts' characters are complete and rounded, totally believable, and her firm grasp of historical detail allows her to bring them to life in a remarkable fashion, examining motives in sympathetic but penetrating depth from servants, pedlars and beggars to prelates, knights and farmers.
