Description

<p><span><span>Harold Godwineson, the Last Anglo-Saxon King, owed everything to his father. Who was this Godwine, first Earl of Wessex and known as the Kingmaker? Was he an unscrupulous schemer, using King and Witan to gain power? Or was he the greatest of all Saxon Earls, protector of the English against the hated Normans? The answer depends on who you ask. He was befriended by the Danes, raised up by Canute the Great, given an Earldom and a wife from the highest Danish ranks. He sired nine children, among them four Earls, a Queen and a future King. Along with his power came a struggle to keep his enemies at bay, and Godwine's best efforts were brought down by the misdeeds of his eldest son Swegn. Although he became father-in-law to a reluctant Edward the Confessor, his fortunes dwindled as the Normans gained prominence at court. Driven into exile, Godwine regathered his forces and came back even stronger, only to discover that his second son Harold was destined to surpass him in renown and glory.</span></span></p>

I just finished it today. I will say that it’s a little different than what I’m used to reading as far as the language goes. I’m sure you’ll know what I mean when I mention books by authors such as Zane, Jerome Dickey, <span class="yshortcuts">Michael Baisden</span>…etc. But….this book was a good surprise. I like the climax of the book and how it made me want to find out what happened to the characters. Lee was a character that most females can relate to dealing with. Anyway, to make a long story short…..I really enjoyed the book and if this was your first??? The rest of African Americans authors better watch their back! Thanks again!”</span></span></p> <p></p> <p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"> -Felicia Woods</span></span></p> <p></p>
