The Golden Braid tells a wonderful story that is inspiring and lovely. The sweet romance that evolves is touchingly tender and made my heart skip a beat now and then. I love the medieval setting of knights, herbs and poisons, and dungeons in every castle. The teachings of the Holy Writ are infused into the lives of many characters, though certainly not all, and is responsible for their thoughts and actions. Forgiveness is a major theme. Although this book is listed as YA, I recommend it for everyone who enjoys fairy tales and their retellings.
