Review Effigy of the Cloven Hoof
Lulu Sales Rank: 7797
1 Person Reviewed This Item
The accuracy of the underlying history, the transcendant development of characters, and the elegant flow of the narrative make reading "Effigy of the Cloven Hoof" a great experience. Major historical figures such as Chaucer and Julian of Norwich are woven seeamlessly into the story to add historical ambiance. The highly compelling development of the mystery and the uncovering of the revelation make the book hard to put down. Lady Appolonia is a fascinating character and I hope to encounter her again in a sequel to this very readable and intelligent book.
