A VISION OF LIGHT
A VISION OF LIGHT (Originally published by Delacorte in 1988 and Three Rivers Press in 2006) Young, wealthy and twice married, Margaret has a modest enough ambition: she wishes to write a book. But this is 1355, and the notion of a woman wanting to record her experiences and thoughts is not just arrogant, it's possibly heretical.
Three clerics contemptuously decline to be Margaret's scribe, and it is only starvation that persuades Brother Gregory, a renegade Carthusian friar with a mysterious past, to take on the unseemly task of chronicling her life. As she narrates her life story, an extraordinary tale unfolds filled with perilous brushes with death, where a mix of miracle and Margaret's innate intellect pull her through. But this is a world where a clever woman is at constant risk of being accused of witchcraft.
IN PURSUIT OF THE GREEN LION (Originally published by Delacorte in 1990 and Three Rivers Press in 2006) Margaret, a resourceful midwife, is living with the insufferable relatives of her third husband, Gilbert de Vilers, known as Gregory. She is carving out a life for her and her daughters despite the hostility and greed of her in-laws. But when Gregory is captured in France and held for ransom, Margaret knows she must take action.
THE WATER DEVIL (Originally published by Crown in 2007) Margaret of Ashbury is ready to settle down to a quiet life in the country with her true love and rambunctious brood of children; but life has other plans for the
medieval healer. Her husband Gregory's ever-meddling family will not leave them alone. Finding himself deep in debt once again, her father-in-law has plotted to sell Margaret's daughter off in marriage.
Written with historical accuracy, supernatural plot twists, and the humour that Riley's readers have grown to love, The Water Devil, last in the Margaret of Ashbury Trilogy, is a high-spirited adventure perfect for fans of
Phillipa Gregory. Judith Merkle Riley (19422010) was a professor of political science at Claremont College in California. Riley's bestselling books include The Margaret of Ashbury Trilogy, The Oracle Glass, The Serpent
Garden, and The Master of All Desires. Her books have been heralded by The New York Times as absorbing and arresting and by The Los Angeles Times as fascinating and factual. They have been sold in 12 countries and have made The New York Times and USA Today's bestseller lists.
