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."
Evocative and entertaining -- what a nice review!

ReplyDeleteThanks, ladies. It's one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteMy complimnts and gratitude to Donna Fasano, who featured your lumionous novel THE COMET here on the Kindle book page.
ReplyDeleteI 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 Néel as the conquering enemy... You're quite a writer, Miriam!

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.
