To Calais, in Ordinary Time

Gary Homewood

Three different characters, a scribe, a young noblewoman and a ploughman, on a journey across England as the Black Death approaches.

Authentic dialog takes some adjusting to, but this and the period detail makes the whole vivid and believable. Love and death, politics, religion and violence, as the characters continually have to adjust and reassess their circumstances.
