And so Avelyn, who had intended to lose weight for her wedding but hasn't managed to do so, allows her mother to bind her tightly and sew her into her wedding dress, which will, of course lead to disaster. ![]() However, she has spent so many years being bullied by her nasty cousins that she can only see faults, fretting that Paen will reject her upon first sight despite their long-standing betrothal. Lady Avelyn is not a slight girl she is a fully grown woman, rounded, comfortable and eminently skilled to be mistress of her own home, just the sort of woman her soon to be husband Paen wants to marry. But this particular book had enough humor, slapstick and otherwise, to leaven the difficult realities of life in the eleventh century. ![]() There's just altogether too much dirt and battle. Normally medieval-set historical romances are not my romances of choice. ![]()
