Title: The sweeping turmoil of a time long past.
Review: Set during the tumultuous times of the hostile Norman invasion of England, "The Conquest" paints a dramatic picture of what it would have been like to live through the end of the Saxons' reign in England. This story gives the reader insights into the thoughts of both Norman and Saxon characters. Chadwick does this through the intertwined actions of Rolf, a Norman lord given a fiefdom in England; and Ailith, a wealthy but strong Saxon woman who's life is greatly effected by the war. All in all, "The Conquest" is a medieval masterpiece that epitomizes the conflicts and oppressions that the Saxon people endured as a result of Norman aspirations.
