5.0 out of 5 stars Another Brilliant Sister Fidelma Mystery, 14 Jun 2007
By J. Chippindale (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   

The author Peter Tremayne obviously has a great knowledge of Ireland in the 7th century and also on the Irish Law of the period. His Sister Fidelma book are attracting what can only be described as a cult following, but they are of interest to anyone who likes historical novels or mysteries. This series of books are set in Ireland in the 7th century, a time when there was total equality for women. The lead character is the beguiling Sister Fidelma. She is a brilliant scholar, a leading authority on Irish law and the sister of a king. This is also a period in history when celibacy was not yet a part of religious life.

Sister Fidelma is on a mission for her brother the king. She has been sent to Gleann Geis, the forbidden valley to meet there with the chieftain Laisre. Her mission to to negotiate with the chieftain for permission to build a Christian church and school to replace the Druid sanctuaries. Laisre's people are know to be hostile to the new religion and Fidelma knows that she will have her work cut out to convince the chief and his people of the good that will come of it . . .
