My friend, Christine, in England has asked me where are the romances in my recommended Summer selection of books.
O.K. For my last in this mini-series on my favorite titles I suggest that you get hold of the "Road to Jerusalem." by Jan Guillou.
This is the first of a magnificent historical trilogy based in Scandinavia and Palestine during the period of the crusades.
The detail of the series and its historical accuracy make it an artistic triumph; the romance between the principal characters, Arn and Cecelia, deliver emotional suspense to the level of Romeo and Juliet.
For myself, I revelled in the accounts of life in Medieval Convents and Monasteries and now I can't wait to watch the screen version
"ARN'.
If you decide to both read AND view I would appreciate your comments.
Better be quick. Fall is fast approaching.
Jubilate.
Ian
