Reckoning | Sharon Kay Penman
10 posts | 16 read | 9 to read
"Penman's characters are so shrewdly imagined, so full of resonant human feeling that they seem to breathe on the page." "San Francisco"" Chronicle""""""Never forget, Llewelyn, that the world's greatest fool is a Welshman who trusts an English king."His father's words haunt Llewelyn ap Gruffydd, Prince of Wales, who has been ruling uneasily over his fractious countrymen. Above all else, Llewelyn fears that his life and his own dream of an independent, united Wales might be lost to Edward I's desire to expand his English empire. Alive from the pages of history, this is the hauntingly beautiful and compelling tale of a game poised to play itself out to its bloody finale as English and Welsh cross swords in a reckoning that must mean disaster for one side or the other. For anyone who has ever wanted to experience the rich tapestry of British history and lore, this bold and romantic adventure must be read."

Reckoning | Sharon Kay Penman

Nearing the end of this brilliant trilogy and am torn between not wanting it to end and looking forward to it ending because it‘s getting really heart-rending now. Sharon Penman‘s brilliant and, for me, knows which lines not to cross in terms of graphic scenes.

My shelf for this month's #bookspin

I failed pretty hard at March's selections - but in my defense, I'm an "essential worker" (retail pharmacy) so my weekly work hours have almost doubled. I don't know how April will go, but I'm still going to pick my books and hope for the best!

@TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks No worries; this is basically a lawless challenge, so late entries are completely acceptable! 😂 My sister is a pharmacy tech, so I know how crazy that life can be!! Hopefully you get some down time this month. 5y

First US edition of the third book in the Welsh trilogy. 1991, and a much improved cover. 😄

TrishB Lovely 💕💕 6y
DGRachel These are all fantastic! 6y
LeahBergen @TrishB @DGRachel This one strangely has gold sprayed edges on the top and a ribbon bookmark. It‘s like the publishers had a good year or something and could afford to splash out. 😆 6y

Just finished my last (😱) Penman. And I was not dissapointed.
This was another great story. Well researched, full of historical facts, without becomming a history lesson.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 👍

After a busy week I finally have some time to read this evening.
Baby boy is asleep, his father is doing something sporty, so maybe I'll be able to read more than a chapter today! 👍
