'The Comet' is an exciting historical romance, full of adventure, knights, battles and a hero and heroine who come to love and understand each other. Covering the invasion of England by the Normans in 1066, the story also stretches at times into Wales. It is also a very human story, of love, betrayal, misunderstandings and dark pasts that need to be resolved before Neel and Rowena achieve their deserved HEA. The different cultures of Saxon England, the Welsh borders and Norman France are brought to life and the secondary characters within the novel are a delight. Thanks to Miriam Newman's writing, I felt I understood all of them and certainly I felt for them all.
