QR code
"The White Lady of Hazelwood: A Tale of the Fourteenth Century" by Emily Sarah Holt is a historical novel set in the late fourteenth century. The story revolves around the character of the Countess of Montfort, known as the "White Lady," and her struggles and sacrifices as she becomes increasingly marginalized after fighting for her son's power and loyalty. As it delves into her poignant story, the novel captures the intriguing social
dynamics and cultural settings of medieval England. The opening of the novel introduces us to a bustling scene in 1372 London, starting at the patty-maker's shop run by Master Robert Altham. The light-hearted banter between local characters, including Altham's daughters and a young man named Clement Winkfield, sets the stage for a tale filled with youthful aspirations and looming events like an upcoming tournament. Amidst this lively backdrop, the narrative introduces Amphillis Neville, who, after the sudden passing of her mother, is thrust into service as a maid for the Lady Foljambe, a position laden with expectation yet wrapped in mystery. The stage is set for her journey, not just in the physical sense as she travels to her new home, but also in terms of her emotional growth against the shadows of her countess's grand and sorrowful legacy.
