Title: Maid Marian: A Feminist Heroine
Review: Charming and well written! Be sent back through time to see how Maid Marian and Robin Hood might have found their way to one another. Watson breathes life into a story so old, its source is untraceable. The tone is intimate, and the plot is clever (as is the book's heroine). In contrast to the frustratingly simplistic portrayal of the "damsel in distress" you find in so many classic love stories, Marian is smart and capable. The nicest part about Watson's take is that for once you can see why Robin and Marian might have fallen for each other. Her characters are not fairy-tale perfect, but their flaws give shape and depth to the story. I read it in a couple of days, I found it so engrossing, and I was sad when the ride ended. Thumbs up!!
