BRIDGE TO THE SKY 7/1990 ISBN: 0553281372 A bridge to the sun...From the Benedictine monasteries of England to the sacred tombs of darkest Egypt, from the ancient temples of Jerusalem to the great cities of Italy, France, and Hungary, here is a riveting saga of medieval times told through the lives of the passionate men and women who envisioned and engineered history's most triumphant and timeless monuments to humanity - the great cathedrals and castles of early Europe. A bridge to the sky...Born in a poor Suffolk fishing village, young Stephen of Dunwich was branded a witch by an ignorant peasantry frightened of his remarkable gift. Exiled with his mother, Maud, they were forced to seek shelter from the Black Monks of Ely where Stephen would become an apprentice of a cruel, cold-hearted monk whose true ties to mother and son were carefully guarded. Under Brother Daniel's harsh tutelage, Stephen would acquire the basis of the education he need to become a brilliant architect; under the spell of a beautiful peasant girl, he would forsake his vows and seek his destiny as a master builder in the greatest cities of the East and West. A rich, compelling blend of history and drama, a Bridge to the Sky is a magnificent record of Europe's first great burst of creative light after the Dark Ages, and the haunting, fascinating story of a man who dared to dream - and built his dreams in stone and mortar to last a hundred lifetimes.

4 Rose ReadPORTRAIT OF AN UNKNOWN WOMAN 4/2007 ISBN: 0061251836 The year is 1527. The great portraitist Hans Holbein, who has fled the reformation in Europe, is making his first trip to England under commission to Sir Thomas More. In the course of six years, Holbein will become a close friend to the More family and paint two nearly identical family portraits. But closer examination of the paintings reveals that the second holds several mysteries... Set against the turmoil, intrigue and, tragedy of Henry VIII's court, Portrait of an Unknown Woman vividly evokes sixteenth-century England on the verge of enormous change. As the Protestant Reformation sweeps across Europe to lap at England's shores, relations between her king and the Catholic Church begin to plummet—driven by Henry VIII's insatiable need for a male heir and the urgings of his cunning mistress Anne Boleyn—and heresy begins to take hold. As tensions rise, Henry VIII turns to his most trusted servant and defender of Catholic orthodoxy, Sir Thomas More to keep peace in England, but soon the entire More family find their own lives at risk. At the center of Portrait of an Unknown Woman is Meg Gigg's, Sir Thomas More's twenty-three year old adopted daughter. Intelligent, headstrong, and tender-hearted, Meg has been schooled in the healing arts. And though she is devoted to her family, events conspire that will cause Meg to question everything she thought she knew—including the desires of her own heart. As the danger to More and his family increases, two men will vie for Meg's affections: John Clement, her former tutor and More's protégé who shares Meg's passion for medicine, but whose true identity will become unclear, and the great Holbein, who's artistic vision will forever alter her understanding of the world. With a striking sense of period detail Portrait of an Unknown Woman is an unforgettable story of sin and religion, desire and deception. It is the story of a young woman on the brink of sensual awakening and of a country on the edge of mayhem. RR@H's Novel Thoughts

But he may be the hero she needs after all, when he learns to do battle for something greater than his own glory -- the love of a fair maiden.
