Lovely Romance

(4,5 Sterne)

A sad, sweet romance with a happy ending. I really enjoyed this story for its emotional and historical significance. Most of the readers did a good job, but several rushed through without thought to taking a pause or using any emotion.

When a knighthood was in flower.

(5 Sterne)

Absolutely beautiful brilliant book.
