Buy this book! I have to admit that since buying this book, I had left it on my shelf for several months. After finally picking it up, I was amazed at how good it was. The story grips you from the start, and it is such a beautifully written book, i would reccomend to anyone.
A great adventure! Michael Eisner has traced the story of a young nobleman, who leaves his comfortable existence in Spain to seek excitement and adventure on a crusade in the Holy Land. The story emerges through the eyes of his friend on his return to Spain, as he struggles to come to terms with his experiences. This is an interesting book historically, as well as a great adventure. A real page-turner, I recommend it!
