The Spoils of Avalon

Burns, Mary F.

The Sargent/Paget Mysteries

The death of a humble clergyman in 1877 leads amateur sleuths Violet Paget and John Singer Sargent into a medieval world of saints and kings---including the legendary Arthur---as they follow a trail of relics and antiquities lost since the destruction of Glastonbury Abbey in 1539. Written in alternating chapters between the two time periods, The Spoils of Avalon creates a sparkling, magical mystery that bridges the gap between two worlds that could hardly be more different--the industrialized, Darwinian, materialistic Victorian Age and the agricultural, faith-infused life of a medieval abbey on the brink of violent change at the hands of Henry VIII and Thomas Cromwell. First in a new series of historical mysteries (there are now four).

No Man's Chattel

Swanson, Lee

First book in the No Man is Her Master series

In 14th century Europe, a respectable woman was expected to marry at a young age, often to a man she did not love, with the remainder of her days to be spent managing a household and enduring a yearly visit to the birthing chair. Christina Kohl, the sixteen-year-old daughter of a wealthy merchant in Lubeck, Germany, has no allusions her life will be any different. After a series of tragedies befall her family, however, her fate takes a most unexpected turn as she is left to fend for herself in an evolving world of trade and social upheaval where things are not always as they seem, least of all Christina herself.

Amazon Review: Excellent story line told with believable reasons for choosing an unconventional life during the 1400s merchant society.
The roles of men and women are very confining during this time of rigid faith and feudal loyalties. Family loyalty and business ethics will continue into an eagerly anticipated next book. Anita Dehghani
