Summary: 14th Century England Brought to Life
Review: York is very close to my own home and many of the places mentioned in the Owen Archer books are still there to be seen and of course Archbishop John Thorseby is mentioned in the records of York Minster. All this adds spice for me and helps me to picture the time and events that took place.
Late spring 1370 and Owen Archer is about to leave Wales havaing completed his work for John of Gaunt, but his plans are ruined by a mysterious suicide.
His wife Lucie who owns an apothecary shop in York is saddened by her husband's absence and worried about allegations made against her. Also angered by his absence John Thorseby, Archbishop of York orders Owen to return. But Owen's stay in the land of his fathers has created divided loyalties in him and a Welsh rebel would like Owen to stay and fight and never return to York.
