3.8 out of 5 stars 12 ratings
Limoges 1364 - After Elaine is rescued from a rioting mob by Joscelin, a handsome English pilgrim, neither expects to see the other again. Out of sight proves not to be out of mind, however, nor out of heart. Their unspoken love for one another continues to grow over the years they’re apart. When their paths cross again, Joscelin is a knight in the army laying siege to Elaine’s home. He has to get to her before anyone can harm her… or worse.

    I really enjoyed the book but at times Joscelin and Elaine were perplexing. They clearly loved one another but he went to extreme lengths to give her up and she was quite willing to join a convent. I think Ms. Munday could have spent a little more time explaining some of the occurrences

    4.0 out of 5 stars Compelling and heart-warming; a lovely read
    Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2017
    This was a really lovely, compelling and heart-warming tale of courtly love set in the height of the Middle Ages. All the characters were beautifully rendered and relatable. April’s well-researched narrative draws you into the medieval world seamlessly as the world building is perfect. All the contemporary tales of courtly love exaggerated romance and idealised love, placing a woman on a pedestal to be worshipped from afar – and this is exactly what Joscelin does to Elaine. It takes him time to realise his own feelings and to accept that Elaine can actually be his wife.

    What I really loved was the very pure and chaste way in which Joscelin and Elaine loved each other. Joscelin is unlike many other contemporary knights; not only did the couple have to overcome physical logistical and emotional obstacles to be together, they also had to overcome their own ignorance and innocence. I think we forget in this day and age with sexual information and facts readily available how people previously discovered their own bodies and other peoples’ in a sexual context aside from actual experience. This was really tastefully explored and was also skilfully interwoven with a family scandal. It also nicely juxtaposed with religious considerations and how a knight who describes himself as “good at killing” can be a better person than a man of the cloth.

    It was a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon reading this novel and will happily recommend to other historical romance fans.

    This book has received a Discovering Diamonds Review:
    "a fine read, a worthy addition to the, thankfully, growing corps of work that finally tackles the Hundred Years War, and with a super, evocative cover, I would happily read this again."

    4.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully-written, touching love story
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 26, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    This is such a well-written book. Nothing jarred - not the dialogue, nor the characterisation. Point of view remains tight throughout, there are no typos or errors. We are plunged straight into the story, with no preamble, and whilst that feels a little unusual, fear not, for we are given the information we need as we follow the pilgrims on their journey, gradually finding out more and more about why the main character, a soldier named Joscelin, is doing penance. His love for Elaine is something which grows and develops over a number of years, but there are many obstacles in this couple's path. All of this felt believable, none of it contrived, and all in period. The characters' beliefs and assumptions felt very true to the historical setting. I liked that Elaine was not feisty and independent but a girl whose character was shaped by experience. I would have liked a little more historical background - I guessed that the 'prince' in question was the Black Prince, but we were not told until the notes at the end - but this is very much a romance and as such it absolutely delivers.
