The Comet by Miriam Newman

Oh! Oh! A Kindle Romance Novel for $2.99 / £1.92!



An ambitious young Norman knight, Neel, is seriously wounded at the Battle of Hastings and nursed back to health by a Saxon girl, Rowena. For her, it is only a matter of Christian duty and she is shocked to receive his proposal of marriage in return. She dares not refuse, but how can she love a Norman?

Reviews:

"The interplay between the heroine and hero definitely evokes much emotion -sometimes humorous, sometimes passionate. Each of them face hard choices and suffer loss as they come to realize their love for each other. Highly entertaining, this is a quality romance which will not disappoint."

"I highly recommend The Comet for those who love well written historical romance."

  5. My complimnts and gratitude to Donna Fasano, who featured your lumionous novel THE COMET here on the Kindle book page.
    I don't like historicals much, as a rule, but Miriam Newman's The Comet is one of my all-time favorite books.
    The intricacies of life in those days, and the delicacy of the budding romance in spite of the girl viewing NĂ©el as the conquering enemy... You're quite a writer, Miriam!

  7. Thanks, ladies. I've actually had this book in my head for twelve years! Because I have an interest in weaving, I was looking at the famous Bayeux Tapestry depicting the Norman invasion of England and began to wonder how it would have been to have become a Saxon war bride after that historic invasion. There were many--ladies of property widowed by the Battle of Hastings, given to Norman knights. Talk about conflict. And the rest, as they say, is history.
