Description

"In the summer of 1140, Oliver Pascal returns home from a long pilgrimage to discover England ravaged by civil war. Among the survivors he finds are Richard, an illegitimate royal son, and the boy's young nurse, Catrin. Widowed, stubborn and proud, she has much in common with Oliver, a man still grieving for a wife lost in childbirth, but the endurance of the love that grows between them is threatened by the deepening seriousness of the conflict. When Oliver is taken prisoner, Catrin returns to the husband she mistakenly thought had died in battle. But when Oliver is seriously wounded in his efforts to regain his lands, Catrin hastens to his side, her marriage a disaster. Beyond the perils of injury in battle, lies the danger of childbirth, the upheaval of continuing war and the risk of loving in exchange for nothing but heartbreak. Then Catrin's husband makes his final demand on her loyalty" 473PP.
