Publisher's Synopsis
Bertrand du Guesclin, also known as Bertrand of Brittany was was a Breton knight and French military commander. Several historical figures associated with him are also mentioned in this book which is considered to be a romance.This romance is set during the Fourteenth Century and concerns the awkward and unloved son of a well to do family who falls in love with an eight year old child who displays a kindness towards him. One could describe it as a 'fine love', a term probably not understood these days. Bertrand sets out to prove himself but it will be many years later before the two meet up again in rather more dire circumstances. An example of the author's unrivaled attention to detail, the reader soon becoming enveloped in the past as it is written.
