A chronicle of the life and love of Ansiau and Alis in 12th-century France. Set in the time of the Third Crusade, Zoe Oldenbourg's novel (a translation of ARGILE ET CENDRES) is powerfully compelling and a true classic, capturing the strength and brutality, squalor and beauty, faith and ignorance, pageantry and agony of Europe's Middle Ages. First published in 1949. 'Oldenbourg's narrative, with its beautiful descriptions and its realistic characters, makes a lasting impression on the mind and heart' Good Book Guide
