Productbeschrijving

When Belle meets Luke, son of an alchemist and Scribe to the famous poet Chaucer, she is determined to travel with him to Canterbury on a pilgrimage. She hopes for a miracle: that her father will walk again. She also hopes to atone for her own part in his accident.

It is a time of unrest across the country and the young King Richard II is just hanging on to his throne. A malign character on the pilgrimage suspects Chaucer of treason and slowly winds Belle into a political intrigue. At the same time, the impulsive Belle is drawn towards both Luke and to Walter, the wealthy son of a Knight. But Walter himself is in love with Luke...

As the uprising against the King starts to draw pace and the web of intrigue around Belle and Chaucer tightens, Belle and her friends must risk everything to save their country and themselves...

  • Nice little tale well worth reading.

    Some people have pointed out inaccuracies, and indeed some things surprised me - the use of spectacles (though I found indeed they were indeed already used at this time, though I doubt a alchemists son could get by them so easily) and wheelchairs (apparently not invented yet, not by far) and the fact a bellfounders daughter would be able to read, own books, and especially, write a story such as this with intimate details on herself. Or the mere idea a bellfounders daughter could take over her fathers business - I doubt this was even allowed. Though this is indeed odd, I found it does not mean that the story is not marvelous and a pleasure to read.

    My one objection is that the book does not contain historical notes and/or an authors afterword like most historical novels based on true characters do. Such notes could have explained about the reason for the aforementioned inaccuracies - or perhaps accuracies, if I'm mistaken. I recognized characters like Chaucer, king Richard and De Vere. Despite having been to Canterbury I have never actually read The Canterbury Tales (for shame!) and I probably am not the only one left wondering which parts of the novel are based on actual historical happenings, (other) people I have (not) heard of before and the Tales themselves, and which parts are pure fiction. I was reading up on the Tales on Wikipedia and found something about a Millers Tale, which just made my curiosity grow... yes, if this gets a reprint, authors notes are desperatly needed.

    Still, well recommended.
