Comments

Campion has mixed a well-researched plot with vividly drawn characters in a story that will engross fans of English medieval history.

Suspenseful, romantic, but surprisingly gritty, The Triple Knot shows how even the most resourceful and strong-minded noblewoman could not avoid being used as a political pawn in the hands of scheming men...It's Campion's depictions of the people complex, tricky, faithless and loyal that leap right off these pages and stick in your memory.
