The Lady for Ransom

From “one of the best literary novelists of this century” (Times Literary Supplement) comes a fascinating novel set in the twilight of the Byzantine Empire. Through the tale of the ruthless nobleman, Roussel de Balliol, his wife Lady Matilda, and Roger — attached to Balliol’s force — we receive a vivid and vital picture of 11th-century life. “An extremely gifted writer who can move into an unknown period and give it life and immediacy.” — New York Times.
