Sharon Newman writes about 13th Century France as if she lived there. She makes her stories come alive with details of everyday living, with the people and their attitudes, their prejudices and their loves and hates. She combines philosophy, religion, social issues, romance, adventure and a rousing good mystery into a compelling story that you can't put down.

She explores the issue of women and their situation through the eyes of her heroine, Catherine LeVendeur, a former noviate, who is well educated, intelligent, curious, and definitly ahead of her time.

The stories draw you in and don't let you go, even when the last page is read and the book is back on the shelf.
