The Potter's Field
The Potter's Field | Ellis Peters
4 posts | 7 read | 3 to read
The gifting of a field to the Benedictine abbey goes from generous to ghastly when plows turn up a hastily buried body When a newly plowed field recently given to the Benedictine Abbey of Saint Peter and Saint Paul yields the body of a young woman, Brother Cadfael is quickly thrown into a delicate situation. The field was once owned by a local potter named Ruald, who had abandoned his beautiful wife, Generys, to take monastic vows. Generys was said to have gone away with a lover, but now it seems as if she had been murdered. With the arrival at the abbey of young Sulien Blount, a novice fleeing homeward from the civil war raging in East Anglia, the mysteries surrounding the corpse start to multiply.

Struggling with all my current reads so I‘ve been looking for something to suit my mood at 4 am suffering insomnia in bed. Decided to try the tagged book, and by page 3 I‘ve come across 3 lengthy sentences that are taking me too much time to unravel in my sleepy state. Is it just me or is this type of sentence insufferably long—sinking under the weight of too many details?

GingerAntics That sentence makes my head hurt. It‘s a little too close to Dickens status. 5y

These Kindle sales are killing me. I just bought this one for $1.99. I‘ve been anxious to read Cadfael, so here we go. This is the first map in the book. Very cool that I‘ve been to Cardiff!

Sarah24 I like Cadfael. I always wonder though what people think when they come across the Welsh names - misprint or Google it?! 6y
Texreader @Sarah24 I thought I was on another planet when in Wales because the spelling of everything was so bizarre 6y
KathyWheeler I loved this series and the show was good too. 6y
