What people are saying about the book:Although Hild and Dreda set out on their journeys in 7th century Britain, they could have been contemporaries of any woman seeking to discover her own destiny in a male-dominated society. I hadn’t realized that the seeds of feminism already existed behind the walls of castles and convents centuries ago. As well as being the story of two strong women, Fire in the Spirit is also the story of a trusted friendship that stood the test of time and separation even when communication was nearly impossible. - Jane Tremblay, Orillia, Ontario This book offers such a great picture of day to day life for 7th century women and those around them: Spartan domesticity; danger-filled travel; intrigue. Loved the historical detail provided by the author’s research for this story! - Kathy Hall, Marchmont, Ontario The author weaves a compelling story of two strong women in medieval England with fascinating details of life at that period of time. I was intrigued with the technique of interspersing letters to show us the passage of time. The reader greatly benefits from the writer’s extensive research. - Marguerite Lamb Probst, Hobe Sound, Florida This is an amazing piece of research and literature. Once into it, I couldn’t put it down. - Faye Hunter, Orillia, Ontario While unlike any other book I've read, Fire in the Spirit is very readable as well as educational. The book required tremendous research and I was impressed by the author's ability to maintain unity of thought and theme. I enjoyed it very much. - Richard Berti, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario |
