Fatal Rivalry: Part Three of The Last Great Saxon Earls
Description
<p>In 1066, the rivalry between two brothers brought England to its knees. When Duke William of Normandy landed at Pevensey on September 28, 1066, no one was there to resist him. King Harold Godwineson was in the north, fighting his brother Tostig and a fierce Viking invasion. How could this have happened? Why would Tostig turn traitor to wreak revenge on his brother?<br />The Sons of Godwine were not always enemies. It took a massive Northumbrian uprising to tear them apart, making Tostig an exile and Harold his sworn enemy. And when 1066 came to an end, all the Godwinesons were dead except one: Wulfnoth, hostage in Normandy. For two generations, Godwine and his sons were a mighty force, but their power faded away as the Anglo-Saxon era came to a close.</p>
Story Behind The Book
It took me ten years to finally write this followup to RHYTHMS. I do hope that the wait was worth it for my readers!!

What Mother Never Told Me by Donna Hill is one of the most engaging
novels I have read on the subject of mothers and daughters. From page
one the reader is drawn into the life of Parris McKay as she goes in
search of the mother she had been told was dead for 30 years. The story
slowly and surely allows the reader to see and feel how and why the
deception took place. The story is so well-told that at times I felt as
though the mother had betrayed me. However, once I saw the story unfold,
my perspective changed, as did my understanding.
<br /><br />Even more compelling is the love story component of Parris and Nick,
the man she is in love with. Also the story of the love of her mother's
life is very compelling. The back stories about Celeste, a blue-blood,
socialite and her mother, as well as Leslie, an overweight, interior
designer and her mother are just as fascinating. The unexpected bond
between the three women also speaks of sisterhood and the support that
women can only give other women. There are also many other romantic
layers and flavors that make this book a literary delight.
<br /><br />I recommend What Mother Never Told Me to all readers who love a
wonderfully told story.
