5.0 out of 5 stars glorious romance, 6 Aug 2004
By Jilana "jilana" (Northants, UK) - See all my reviews
I am real fan of Elizabeth Chadwick's. Her novels are always believable and full of three dimensional characters who sweep you along with the stories.
The Champion is my Absolute favorite though. It is the story of Alexander and Monday, who meet on the jousting tourney fields of France. Their paths cross, they are torn apart by circumstance and when finally they meet again they are strangers, and have to rebuild their friendship despite Royal intervention and insidious family plotting.
This book thrilled me. Close your eyes and you will feel the cold damp air of the fields and the thundering vibrations of hooves, hear the shouts and whinneys from the lists and the moans of the fallen ones.
You won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unputdownable storytelling, 6 Nov 1999
By A Customer
I have seldom read a novel so fast: her storytelling pulls you forward, page on page. I love the fact that all the history is trustworthy, but never forced on you: I absorb the history through the story and the characters. This should have won the Romantic Novelists Award in the year it was short-listed, without doubt!

4.0 out of 5 stars enjoyable, 17 April 2001
By A Customer
I enjoyed this story, although perhaps the outcome was a bit predictable - the characters were good and most believable. I'd also suggest Helen Hollick's Harold the King if you are interested in the Battle of Hastings era - Ms Chadwick's book slots in very nicely after Ms Hollick's for "what happened next"!
