À propos de cet audio
If you thought you might die, would you bargain everything that mattered to you? Could you keep such a bargain?
Let The Lode Stone, a historical fiction novel by award-winning author Jane Ann McLachlan, take you on a gripping journey to the south of France in the 12th Century.
Three years ago Melisende’s husband, Simon, went off with Lord Barnard and his men to join King Phillip of France on the Third Crusade.
Now Lord Barnard is dead and his son, Lord Charles, has come home from the crusades with the last of their men - and Simon is not among them. Lord Charles claims Simon died saving his life. Melisende suspects there is more to the story. Left to fend for herself and her two young children, Melisende is determined to discover what really happened to Simon at the battle for Acre. The truth is far stranger and more unsettling than she could ever have imagined.
If you enjoy true-to-life, well-researched historical fiction based on real events, with all the passion, drama, and heartache of life in Medieval Europe, you’ll love The Lode Stone, written by multi-award-winning author Jane Ann McLachlan.

A great read!
This story was a very entertaining blend of romance, character development and living history. I am really looking forward to listening to the others in this series and other material by this author! The reader of this audible version was effective without being intrusive.

strong female characters are not a modern phenomen
The main character is Melissande, a strong willed and high spirited young woman living at the time of the Third Crusade. In medieval times, women rarely had control of their own fate, and were married off for the advantage of their lord, family or to consolidate properties or alliances. Melissande defies conventional mores, negotiating land and her own stone quarry's contracts with shrewd acumen. Her husband was presumed dead in the Battle of Accra, and Melissande boldly defied the Lord of the land to determine her own fate and the security of her children. An admirable heroine, a historically accurate setting and very believable characters are created by author Jane Ann McLachlan. The surprise ending is skilfully crafted without straining belief. Narrator Lilian Rachel's voice is very well suited to the story and enhances the dramatic impact. An excellent stand alone novel, but if you have the opportunity of reading McLachlan, 's previous book "The Sorrow Stone" first, it will add depth to your very enjoyable reading experience.
