NECTAR FROM A STONE
by Jane Guill
U.S. Publisher: Simon & Schuster (Spring 2005)
Wales in 1350 is a country under siege, decimated by years of The Plague. Its cities are occupied by the English invaders, and closed to the Welsh at night. Roving bands of killers from both sides make travel extremely dangerous.
Across this terrifying countryside, Elise (born of an English mother and a Welsh father) and her servant are trying to make their way home from the scene of a desperate murder she thinks she has committed. Throughout her life, Elise has been given to visions. One particularly hideous one haunts her dreams. What does it foretell?
Jane Guill has done a first rate job of bringing the period and her characters to life in a novel rich in adventure and romance.
