I recommend 'Eadfrith' to the reader that wishes to expand their knowledge of the era when Christianity took form for today's age. While all of us are entitled to our own opinion, as a general reader of materials from the period, I found the book a most enjoyable 'read' fitting neatly within the genre of historical literature, ( Max Adam's "King of the North, Melvyn Bragg's "Credo" and Nicola Griffith's "Hild") recently published.Ä«rown's first novel written under the pen Name Treeve to distinguish her scholarship from entertaining literature certainly is a new and different tool to educate Brown knows her era and provides a different vehicle to compliment her scholarly work in 'the Lindisfarne Gospels', 'How Christianity came to Britain', and my favourite 'the Book and the Transformation of Britain" Ashley's review did make me think and provokes this commentary. ![]() ![]() I have just finished reading 'Eadfrith' and after the fact read a recent review by 'Ashley' noted above. ![]()
