An author who's been forgotten, unfortunately. This story of England just after the Norman Conquest is an example of Lofts's strengths: carefully researched historical background, focus on a character's practical problems and not just the character's "love life," attention to neglected periods of history. This is no "bodice burster," but a serious novel that both educates and entertains.

I also recommend Lofts's The Lost Queen and How Far to Bethlehem?
