5.0 out of 5 stars DJ's Reviews, 7 April 2004
By A Customer
The marsh King’s Daughter is a delightful medieval love story between Miriel Weaver and Nicholas de Caen, whose road to true love is somewhat rocky and at times very tragic.
From the first chapter of this book I was totally entwined within the fabric of the entire book, because Elizabeth Chadwick character’s have so much depth to them that you start to relate to them personally. You start to begin to celebrate in their love and share in their tragedies as if they where people you have actually known and it is this aspect of the book which makes it such a great read.
The plot from the start grabs the reader’s imagination and takes the reader on a rollercoaster ride of the up’s and downs of Miriel’s live and finally speeds the reader on to the climax of the book.
This book is one of the best book’s I have read for a while and would recommend it to anyone. Although the story is a love story it has true depth and feeling and is not the usual mushy mumbo jumbo, a real gem.

5.0 out of 5 stars Vintage Chadwick. Colourful and compelling., 7 Jan 2000
In the beginning I was disinclined to read Elizabeth Chadwick's novels due to the somewhat corny cover art which was reminiscent of every other historical bodice-ripper ever written. I'm so glad I looked beyond the cover. Chadwick gives us likeable characters and intriguing plots flavoured with just enough back ground colour that we feel we're really living the Middle Ages. My only complaint is that all of Chadwick's heroes are too much like contempory "nineties" men. This does make them seem immensely desirable to the modern reader, but their caring, sharing, tolerance of their women's independent behaviour is historically rather unlikely. Chadwick's books are not perhaps as intellectually demanding or multi-layered as Sharon Penman's masterpieces. Howvever, if you want a thoroughly enjoyable slice of history spiced with evocative descriptions and slick prose then I can highly recommend any of Chadwick's novels - they always satisfy.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE MARSH KING'S DAUGHTER ROCKS!, 10 Aug 2002
By Kimberly Gelderman (Spring Lake, MI USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Marsh King's Daughter (Hardcover)
Another excellent medieval historical from Elizabeth Chadwick! Her books never disappoint the reader. This is the sixth novel I've read by this author and it is one of her best yet!

This story involves the lives of Miriel Weaver and Nicholas de Caen. Miriel is physically and verbally abused by her stepfather continually until he decides against her will to dump her in a nunnery. She eventually excapes with the help of Nicholas whom she had nursed back to health in the convent infirmary. He had been a prisoner with King John's baggage train in 1216 carrying all the royal regalia until the fatal tide and quicksand ends everyone's life but his own. He takes a chest unknowingly containing a fortune in silver and Queen Mathilda's crown.

Literally down the road, Miriel parts Nicholas' company with some of the silver and Queen Mathilda's crown. He discovers this too late and becomes enraged and vows to one day get revenge. However, for much of the story they live out different lives with different people until they fatefully meet again.

I loved the detail and descriptions particularily concerning the wool trade, especially the different types of wool fabrics and colors. This book had me turning pages until 2 a.m. anticipating what would happen next. A very exciting read!
