I Am the Chosen King

by: Helen Hollick (author)

In this beautifully crafted tale, Harold Godwinesson, the last Saxon King of England, is a respected, quick-witted man both vulnerable and strong, honorable and loving-and yet, in the end, only human. After the political turmoil and battles leading up to 1066, we all know William the Conquerer takes England. But Helen Hollick will have readers at the edge of their seats, hoping that just this once, for Harold, the story will have a different ending.

Before finishing this book, I'd never read a book that took place as far back as the 11th century. It was nice to read something different, about a time I didn't...
