5.0 out of 5 stars The Heaven Tree (first volume of Heaven Tree Trilogy), 21 April 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: The Heaven Tree (The heaven tree trilogy) (Paperback)
I found this the most enjoyable of Edith Pargeter's historical novels. Set in the time of King John, it tells the story of Harry Talvace, mastermason.
The characters are beautifully observed and portrayed, showing a depth of insight into human psychology which is a hallmark of Pargeter's work. She also is a first-rate story-teller. I found this hard to put down.
Enthralling, and at times almost unbearably moving.

5.0 out of 5 stars Holds your attention from the start !, 18 Feb 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: The Heaven Tree (The heaven tree trilogy) (Paperback)
I first read this book 20 years ago and bought the trilogy. I rediscovered it recently and have enjoyed it more the second time around. I don't tend to keep books to re read, but this is a must for any lover of historical fiction. I even stopped reading another book because I didn't want to put this one down! A story of the harshness of the times in 13th Century Britain, whether you be freeman or villein, and the incredible friendship forged between a lad of noble birth and a villein. I really felt for them, especially at the very beginning, and the sad end.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must read!, 5 Dec 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Heaven Tree (The heaven tree trilogy) (Paperback)
This is one of my all time favourite books. It makes me cry everytime I read it and I've re read it too many times to count and each time was as good as the last. It's one of those books which you recommend to people but loathe to lend in case you don't get it back!

The whole trilogy is excellent but the Heaven Tree remains the best for me. It's an incredible story which grips you from the outset. I seriousley recommend it but you'll have to buy your own copy.
