by Elizabeth Chadwick, Nina Bader
Buddy read with Anna :-).
This was a fantastic novel! I can't believe that I hadn't found Elizabth Chadwick before but I can tell you that I will definitely continue to read more of her writing. She kept me interested to the point that even if I wasn't reading I was wondering what was going on with the Bigod family. I defini...
I'm on page 242 of 514 of The Time of Singing: Roger is VERY honorable!! U just respect him, It's kind of cute??? But really I don't need to read more about how great William Marshal is, he's got two books of his own!
Like with all fiction she does have some artistic freedom, because we don't know everything, like how old Ida really was. But Chadwick always stays close to the truth and does her best to make it as historically accurate as possible, and that is what I love about her books. They are true to facts, b...
Let me start by saying that if you're a fan of medieval historical fiction, and have never read Elizabeth Chadwick, well... Why not?For the King's Favor is the story of Roger Bigod and Ida de Tosney. They first meet at King Henry's court, where Roger is trying to get the King to settle his inheritan...

I'm not big on medievals, but this may start changing soon.For the King's Favor (also known as The Time of Singing) tells the story of Roger...
US title for The Time of Singing. Perhaps Susannah can advise me if these should be combined or not.
Another great story from Chadwick who puts another contender in the "historical-fiction-hunk-who-really-existed" field. Full review here: http://shelfandstuff.blogspot.com/2009/11/time-of-singing-by-elizabeth-chadwick.html
A simply wonderful novel set in the late reign of Henry II, King of England, and the young woman who became his mistress, Ida de Tosney. As with all of Elizabeth Chadwick's writing, the historical setting and details are spot on, but best of all, she can tell a terrific story. Ida is very young when...
The Time of Singing retells the story of Roger Bigod, son of Hugh Bigod Earl of Norfolk, who joined the younger Henry in his revolt against his father Henry II. When the revolt fails Hugh loses the Earldom and lands and when he dies there is a bitter dispute over the right to inherit the Earldom bet...
