Query: Very Satisfying Historical Romance

I discovered Barbara Samuels this spring and have already read 4 of her books, which are intelligently written period romances. Like several of her books this one is set in the 14th Century around the terrible time of the plague. Ms. Samuels is skilled at capturing the atmosphere of the time and giving one a good sense of daily life.Her hero and heroine are honorable people who have been hurt in the past. They resist their inappropriate love initially but finally sucumb to the attraction between them. There is also mystery here when social barriers were so strict, and it threatens not only their developing love, but even their lives. That helps make this book a genuine page turner.I appreciated the fact that real historical figures are included in the story and only wish that a bit more specific historical detail had been included as well. That, however, is only as slight criticism and I would highly recommend this book.
