OLDER FICTION
Grove, Vicki

Rhiannon

(4) YA On a bluff above a medieval town, fourteen-year-old Rhiannon tends to the dying with her mother and grandmother until a murder disturbs their serenity. The unexpected arrival of a leper colony, a lost prince, and an independently minded monk add to the intriguing if far-fetched plot. Grove's historical realism sometimes wavers, but she excels at evoking a world in which Christianity is ascendant while pagan beliefs still linger.
