About this listen
The year is 1140 and England is torn by the strife of civil war. Oliver Pascal chances upon a village raided by mercenaries and rescues the survivors: an orphaned boy, who is the illegitimate son of the old king, and his mother's maid, a young widow named Catrin. After escorting them to Bristol Castle, they are accepted into the household of Robert of Gloucester, and while Catrin finds herself falling in love with Oliver, she suffers a deep boredom at the frivolity of court life. Thus when the old midwife Etheldreda offers to teach her the secrets of her ancient art, Catrin agrees.
But the midwife's life is fraught with dangers, not the least Oliver's own personal fears which threaten their relationship, but also in the shape of two men, both killers and both of whom threaten the couple's lives. However, Catrin is determined to pursue her career and keep Oliver, and while England fights a civil war, she battles for her love and for her vocation.

A Solid Historical Romance
The Love Knot by Elizabeth Chadwick is an engaging historical romance that showcases her early talent for storytelling. I particularly enjoy her earlier works, where the focus is on fictional characters rather than real historical figures. It allows for more creative freedom and deeper emotional exploration, which this book delivers well.
The medieval setting is richly detailed, immersing readers in a world of courtly intrigue and romance. The characters are well-developed, with relatable struggles and a satisfying arc, although some moments felt slightly predictable.
Jill Tanner’s narration complements the story with her clear and expressive voice. However, her delivery is occasionally disrupted by odd pauses, which can pull you out of the narrative flow.
Overall, this is a strong read for fans of medieval romance, blending Chadwick’s signature style with a well-rendered historical backdrop.
