Review: A Vivid Picture

All it took for me to spark my interest, was the historical note in the beginning of the book. It was hard to put this book down; I wanted to uncover the mystery behind these boys dying in a fire and why this women is pretending to be a man, hiding her identity from everyone in this medieval village. The characters in the book set out on a journey to find the truth; the path they take reveals more of the mystery with every page you turn. It is evident that the author has a tremendous interest and knowledge in medieval history. He paints a vivid picture of this historical period and what it meant for a women to live, fight, and survive. If you enjoy historical fiction and mysteries like "Pillars of the Earth' or "The Name of the Rose," this is the book for you.
