Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 88
All he ever wanted was to go home. Leaving his life as a noble hostage behind him, Gryff has fled from one danger to another, never safe, always longing for a forbidden return to his conquered Welsh homeland. Held captive by villainous men, his unlikely savior is the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen - and the most deadly. Her silence is unnerving, her generosity unexpected, and her pointed warning that she will not be an object of lust is perfectly clear.

Loved it!!
Revisado: 09-20-19
I recommend all the books in this series for lovers of historical romance. Reading them in order, including the novella Nan, is best. Ms. Kingston manages to convey a realistic picture of medieval life while creating tales of strong women who take charge of their lives and support eachother. And who doesn't love Nicholas Boulton?

Another Henry VIII book
Revisado: 04-25-12
Really, could I read yet another novel about this time period and these people and enjoy it? Apparently yes. This is more "literary" than the Bolyn Girls books, which made me enjoy it more. I had a bit of trouble with the narration at first, but I think really it was a quirk about the way the book was written that was hard to translate for the spoken word. The story itself is told by Thomas Cromwell, but it is all written in the third person. So it was hard to tell when "he" meant Cromwell or the other person that Cromwell was talking to or about, because you would have expected it to be "I". I had to go back and re-listen to a few sections at the beginning but once I got used to that it didn't bother me. I really enjoyed the book told from the "villian's" perspective, because, of course, real people are more complicated than simply being good or evil.

Macbeth: A Novel brings the intricacy and grit of the historical thriller to Shakespeare’s tale of political intrigue, treachery, and murder. In this full-length novel written exclusively for audio, authors A. J. Hartley and David Hewson rethink literature’s most infamous married couple, grounding them in a medieval Scotland whose military and political upheavals are as stark and dramatic as the landscape in which they are played.

A Whole New View
Revisado: 04-25-12
I had to go back and skim over the play again after listening to this, because I couldn't believe that I had missed so much. But this book is really something very different than the play. It elaborates on scenes that are very short in the play, and adds a lot of history for Macbeth and Lady Macbeth that just isn't in the play. I really enjoyed it a a story on its own as well as thinking about what I remembered from reading Shakespeare in high school. Alan Cumming is, of course, fabulous.
