David Arrowsmith recounts the captivating saga of his life in fourteenth-century England and France to the French chronicler Creton. Beginning with David's miraculous survival as an infant, R.D. Watson's first-rate storytelling elevates the novel to a magnificent experience right to the last syllable. David's childhood begins securely in France until circumstances propel him to England, where he secures important alliances. The theme of wine, "nectar," is threaded throughout the novel; wine merchants are the backbone of the economy, and their alliances influence royals. Watson expertly brings alive all the interesting and compelling characters David encounters. M.N.T. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2014]
