Description

A comet's appearance in 1066 sets off a chain of events for Ailith, a young Saxon wife, as her life is forever changed by the arrival of the Normans. Her happiness turns to heartache when her husband and child are taken from her, but she finds love with Rolf de Brize, a Norman invader. Years later, Julitta embarks on a journey of self-discovery, seeking happiness after a lifetime of pain. From surviving in a brothel to experiencing forbidden love and a bitter marriage, Julitta's quest takes her across Europe, from the Pilgrimage to Compostella to the colourful horse fair in Bordeaux. As Ailith and Julitta navigate their complex lives, they must confront the betrayals that have shaped them. This powerful historical novel explores themes of love, loss, and resilience in the face of adversity.
