Customer Reviews

Peregrine is an unforgettable book!

This book is about a young lady's adventure across Europe from England. It takes place in the year 1144. Lady Edith, the main character in the book, is tired of living in England. She just lost her husband and baby and is ready for something new and eventful in her life. Along with her faithful nurse, Dame Joan, her friend Rhiannon, and her brother Simon, she sets forth on an unforgettable journey to the Holy Land (Israel). Not only is Lady Edith running away from a terrible life in England, but she is also running away from a man named Sir Runcival who would do anything to wed her. Overall, I enjoyed this book immensely. It's full of adventure and surprises as Lady Edith runs into unexpected troubles and characters. I gave this book four stars because it was a good book, but some of the words could be too troublesome for some to understand. But once you get into the book, it flows more easily and you begin to enjoy it. I would recommend this book to all of my family and friends and would encourage you to read it.
