For all fans of historical fiction and especially readers of Ken Follett's The Pillars of the Earth
Based on a true story, this tale of passion and revenge brings the past to life.
Normandy in 1118 is a hotbed of malcontent barons kept in fragile order by Henry I, King of England and Duke of Normandy. Fresh from early years in a monastery, Berthold - the bastard son of one of these barons - meets Juliana, a countess and daughter of the King.
He falls in love, or lust (he isn’t sure), but sees that his chance could come with work in her small court. Soon, though, he finds himself caught up in a ruthless feud between Juliana and her father. Juliana's daughters are offered as hostages for a strategic castle, and even love is not enough to allay a tragedy that will change the course of history.

The White Ship is one of the most gripping historical novels I've ever read. It is also a poignant love story.
good read
This historical fiction novel is something to read to appreciate fully the knowledge the author has for the period. Any person who has read medieval era History will surely enjoy the story line within this book. Different emotions will come to any reasonable person who undertakes this novel. Most of it I believed to be historical fact with mild attempts to fill in the gaps along the way; some of the story is simply not believable but that is up to the individual to critically determine for themselves. The main characters are related to history and sadness within these pages I found to be true after I completed the book. I don’t wish to divulge the story line but by mere coincidence of time frame a person will know (somewhat) the ending. There seemed to me to be a back and forth attempt by the author in his regard (or disregard) for the sincerity of Monks. He takes a firmer stance in Arab history along the way and is consistent throughout the book; I could have done without the disparaging remarks of the Priests and Monks and wished he would have had a firmer story line to this end. This said, it is a novel worth the read and even though it is introduced with the normal “…any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental…†The story has enough history as had been written by Oderic Vitalis to show the author is well studied to this era; again, worth the read for any person interested to this time frame. Parts along the way did make me laugh in the manner the author intended for his readers – hopefully those sections will make you laugh as well; the sad parts are truly sad.
