Format:Hardcover
In this 5th of series, we learn why Edgar was able to leave his home and family for Catherine - and why he could love and respect her even though she is but a woman. I love this historical period, and enjoy glimpses of Abelard and Heloise in the earlier novel and, in this one, seeing more of E. Peters' Brother Cadfael's world. Edgar is so much more than a beautiful face. I want to know him and Catherine even better. I hope there will be more. I want Solomon to find a kosher wife and I want Catherine's son to grow up. I want to hear more talks with their Parisian friends. I am deeply satisfied with the characters in these five books - and I hope to meet the again.
Format:Hardcover
I found the latest Catherine LeVendeur novel to be lacking much of the humor and charm of the previous books in the series. There is a much darker element to Cursed in the Bone that I was dissatisfied to see, although there are some new characters of whom I am fond. I am glad we know more about Edgar's antecedents, but I would have liked to see more of James in Paris before he got dragged off to Scotland! I like the more grown-up Catherine, but I hope Edgar does not become bitter. Don't want to give any more away!
Format:Hardcover
Cursed in the Blood continues the story of Catherine and Edgar, this time they travel to Scotland where we meet Edgar's family. The story portrays the harsh realities of Medieval times. A must read for all Sharan Newman fans!
