The Dove In The Eagle's Nest by Charlotte Mary Yonge
****
I heard that Charlotte Yonge's books were very good, and was dissapointed. It reminds me rather of an Elsie Dinsmore book. Unlike Elsie, the heroine makes mistakes, but the book seems to focus on her morality and virtue rather than a plot, or drawing the reader to Christ. The plot is good, even intriguing, but it all goes to reveal the "exemplary" character of the heroine. If you like the Elsie Dinsmore books, you may like this even more. It is an exjoyable book, but if you think a well-written story should offer something more substantial to the reader that an example of wonderful character, you may be dissapointed, as I was. Overall, with the setting, the medieval time period, and the drama, it is an enjoyable read.
