Why it is on our radar
Winn follows In Memoriam by reworking Arthurian desire, devotion and rivalry. Its overlapping attachments distinguish this from a straightforward retelling of a familiar romance, with political uncertainty pressing against the characters’ private ambitions.
About the book
Princess Isode expects to marry Palomides, whose conversion would complete her plans for a royal future. The arrival of Tristram upsets that arrangement, but his admiration is directed toward Palomides rather than her. As Camelot approaches conflict, Isode and Tristram begin a journey that changes their understanding of each other.
