Knight

Ian Anderson is a mature and beautiful new voice on the literary scene. Knight is breathtaking in its scope exquisite in its tenderness and uplifting in its refusal to succumb to the despair which fate sometimes prepares for us. It is a story of love and valour; a story of one man's refusal to capitulate when all the world seemed to conspire against him. Set in the early fifteenth century in the last days of the Age of Chivalry this is the story of a king's champion who robbed of the love and beauty of the woman who had made his life complete and stripped of all he had worked for and achieved still somehow found the will and the strength to pick himself up and move forward again and in the process carry a king to victory on the battlefields of France. This gripping work of historical
fiction weaving together strands of romance tragedy and drama reflects the real pain and suffering associated with loss. It exemplifies the ongoing struggle of the grieving process; between the need to retreat into the memories of the world which has been lost and the need to find a way to move forward again. It is ultimately a book of hope written by an author who has made the journey.
