I had forgotten how good a novelist Cecelia Holland was until I picked up GREAT MARIA. Somewhere in Southern Italy, Maria, a young daughter of a Norman robber baron marries Richard d'Alene, an unprepossessing but ambitious young knight. Secretly, she prefers his more handsome younger brother Roger, but accepts her lot. In Great Maria, noted historical fiction writer Cecelia Holland brings to life the turbulent 11th century in southern Italy. While the Norman nobles and barons battle each other and the Christians push the Saracens to the sea, Maria, the wife of a Norman knight, bravely faces the immense challenges with fortitude and courage. Cecelia Holland was born in Henderson, Nevada, in and started writing at the age of twelve. Starting with The Firedrake in , she has published twenty-one independent historical novels covering periods from the middle of the first millennium CE up through parts of the early twentieth century, ranging from Egypt through Russia, central Europe, Scandinavia, and Great Britain and Ireland.
