Title: Simon de Montfort's story...
Review: As a huge fan of historical fiction I had heard of Sharon Penman as a writer, a story teller worthy of praise but had never read any of her works till the Welsh Triology.Falls the Shadow is the story of Simon de Montfort and his fight for the rights of the common people of England against a weak, and changeable King Henry III. Wales and the happenings of Llewelyn ap Gruffydd are also key to the story as loyalties are tried, tested and ran through and the hope of a better tomorrow are dreamed today.Sharon Penman has the ability to transport the reader to the place and time of the events in her books. The reader experiences the emotions and daily struggle of life and death of the middle ages when everything hung in the balance and anybody could be friend or foe.
