Requests:  1 Summary:  "A brilliant, lush, sweeping historical novel about the rise of the most powerful woman of the Middle Ages: Hild Hild is born into a world in transition. In seventh-century Britain, small kingdoms are merging, usually violently. A new religion is coming ashore; the old gods' priests are worrying. Edwin of Northumbria plots to become overking of the Angles, ruthlessly using every tool at his disposal: blood, bribery, belief. Hild is the king's youngest niece. She has the powerful curiosity of a bright child, a will of adamant, and a way of seeing the world--of studying nature, of matching cause with effect, of observing human nature and predicting what will happen next--that can seem uncanny, even supernatural, to those around her. She establishes herself as the king's seer. And she is indispensable--until she should ever lead the king astray. The stakes are life and death: for Hild, her family, her loved ones, and the increasing numbers who seek the protection of the strange girl who can read the world and see the future. Hild is a young woman at the heart of the violence, subtlety, and mysticism of the early medieval age--all of it brilliantly and accurately evoked by Nicola Griffith's luminous prose. Recalling such feats of historical fiction as Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall and Sigrid Undset's Kristin Lavransdatter, Hild brings a beautiful, brutal world--and one of its most fascinating, pivotal figures, the girl who would become St. Hilda of Whitby--to vivid, absorbing life"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aiea Public Library Adult Fiction Griffith Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Aina Haina Public Library Adult Fiction Griffith Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Griffith Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Fiction Griffith Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Griffith Checked out 05/21/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Fiction Griffith Transit Request   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Fiction Griffith Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library Adult Fiction Griffith Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
