Edith Pargeter is one of my very favorite historical novelists, for the novels written under her own name. The Brother Cadfael series is excellent--perhaps largely because she honed her talent on the longer and more in-depth historical novels. Her quartet about Prince Lewellyn, the last Prince of Wales, starting with Sunrise in the West, may be my favorite historical novels of all time, unless maybe it's her trilogy starting with The Heaven Tree, also set in medieval Wales.
Another intriguing review of a story I must now add to my list. I’m already a fan of Pargeter through her Brother Cadfael series and admire her grasp of both history and language.
