Audiolibro The Conquest

When a comet appears in the sky over England in 1066, Ailith, a young Saxon wife, feels sure that it can only
bode well, in spite of her husband's fears. With a child on its way, the couple are prosperous and content. Yet,
within a year, Ailith's joy turns to heartache as her husband and her child are taken from her and the conquering
Normans advance.
Ailith's grief turns to love for a brief period with Rolf de Brize, a handsome and womanising Norman invader.
She bears him one daughter, but in the aftermath of the Battle of Hastings she discovers a betrayal she cannot
forgive . . .
Years later, the spirited and strong-willed Julitta is determined to find happiness, and yet her life has been filled
with pain: from surviving life in a brothel in Southwark to suffering the pain of a forbidden love and a bitter,
loveless marriage. Her quest takes her on a Pilgrimage to Compostella to a colourful horse fair in Bordeaux,
to the terrors of piracy on the open sea.
