The Lute Player
by Norah LoftsBeloved author Norah Lofts brings to life the romance and adventure of the crusading king Richard the Lionhearted through the eyes of his most humble and trusted companion -- his lute player. One of the most renowned figures in medieval history, Richard the Lionhearted, inspired by a vision of the Holy Land, led his knights onto the battlefields of the Third Crusade. During the years of fighting and intrigue, Richard's life was intertwined with the lives of two strong, vibrant, and drastically different women who loved him -- Berengaria, princess of Navarre, and his mother, Eleanor of Aquitaine. While his marriage to Berengaria was ill-fated, Eleanor loved her son with a frantic, possessive pride. But it is Blondel, the king's lute player, who here steps forward from the shadows to tell this tale of romance, war, and betrayal. In her trademark style, Norah Lofts paints a complex and human portrait of a legendary king.
The Lydia Chronicles
by Doris Read"If you don't live dangerously, you are simply -not living at all," declares Lydia, the irrepressible heroine of this sparkling coming-of-a-certain-age story about a widow's adventures in retirement. The story begins when Lydia decides that the cure for the doldrums is to trade in Miss Swanson (her solid dark-green Buick) for a yellow two-seater convertible, change her hair to a "discreet" blonde, and go West. Before long, she finds herself in the fictional (but very familiar) community of Los Barcos--a town filled with citizens of that certain age, revealing their eccentricities and their zest for life, Southern California style. Ready for romance but reluctant to brave a singles bar, Lydia attends a Sunday morning birdwalk and there, wearing Animal World sneakers, is the man of her dreams, Herm. The Lydia Chronicles brings us a whole banquet of love the second time around as this spirited couple decides on an LTA ("Living Together Arrangement") and lets us into their world. We meet their friends and acquaintances: Poppy, a lonely widow reluctant to date a man unless there are "sparks" ("Sparks!" says Lydia. "You want the moon with maple syrup on it."); Mrs. Meticulous and the Gray Woman; Fred Tucker, the gas station proprietor who enjoys lectures on the digestive system; and other quirky characters. We also meet intriguing neighbors with various hidden agendas--and, in one case, nude potters in the garage. And we follow Lydia as she goes to experimental poetry readings, irons out her troubles with Herm, and makes plain that age is no deterrent to the pursuit of happiness. Each new chapter in the Chronicles is another step on a blithe journey filled with unexpected twists and more than a few revelations. Witty, heartwarming, and slyly satirical, The Lydia Chronicles offers proof positive that life begins at sixty-five.
