The setting is feudal Sussex in the thirteenth century, a landscape and society that have changed almost beyond recognition. The power of the Church is at its zenith, and the bishop of Alincester is one of the richest men in England. He derives income from the watermills in his diocese: the forces of wind and rain are held to be divine.

A compelling story told in lucid yet lyrical prose. This work is packed with fascinating detail on 13th Century life, technology, and relationships, all contributing to the story. I used to think that Creative Commons novels were mainly for writers whose work was "not quite there yet", but this is a novel of the first rank, a product of considerable talent and skill.
