Rosemary Morris

Yvonne, Lady of Cassio
          
          Medieval Novel by Rosemary Morris
          
          Extract from Chapter One.
          
          One of two babies with the same father and different mothers is born on the same night..
          
          “The babe rushed into the world.
          “A boy?” the countess gasped.
          The infant’s lusty cries filled the bedchamber.
          Gytha examined the baby. “A daughter, a healthy girl with hair fair as her father’s.”
          “God help me,” Matilda whispered. “He will vent his spite on me.”
          Gytha recognized the plea for sympathy. “Don’t cry, my lady.”
          The afterbirth slithered out. Matilda twisted the folds of her smock with hands so tense that knotted blue veins stood out against her white skin. “In forty days, after I am churched, my lord will try to father another son.”
          “I’ll soon have you comfortable.” Gytha removed the countess’s soiled garment. She washed her with rosemary-steeped water, dressed her in a clean smock, and combed and braided the countess’s fair hair. She sighed, filled with pity for the unfortunate woman. Gytha could imagine no couple more ill-matched than the Lovages. The countess literate, pale of face, delicate, pious and charitable; the earl, a shrewd but illiterate warrior, boisterous, selfish and fond of hunting. Gytha shook her head.”

          “Prejudice and pride demand Reverend Dominic Markham marry a suitable lady, but he is spellbound by Harriet, an unsuitable widow.”
          5* Review  by By Robbi Perna, Ph.D. - Author and Lecturer
          
          Tuesday’s Child is Full of Grace 
          
          And, for Harriet Stanton, she is grace under pressure. Left widowed during the Napoleon War, which also killed her father, the destitute heroine turns to Georgianne Tarrant for help. Georgianne introduces her to her late husband’s father, the obnoxious Earl of Pennington, who accepts this “mere baronet’s daughter” into his home. His action is far from altruistic for Harriet brings him a precious gift—her son, Arthur. The child gives the old Earl the heir he desires to replaces the detested distant kinsman who currently fills that role. Morris’s knack of creating realistic characters, both likeable and not so much, is again in the forefront of the story. Her heroine is not a member of the haute ton and the hero who is, has a surprising occupation. This third book in the Heroines Born on Different Days of the Week series is the latest in an engaging set of tales that provides readers with an intriguing glimpse into the lives of people with whom they can identify. Even the time-honoured plot of the lost heir has a surprising twist. I highly recommend the book for those of us who need to escape our 21st century lives and catch another peek of a fascinating period of history.
