A review by archytas
A Play of Isaac by Margaret Frazer

4.0

Setting a series outside the cloister (see Dame Frevisse novels for that!) gives Margaret Frazer the ability to explore a fleshier, more venal side of the world. The troupe of players - whose relationships to each other are subtly shifted from when they were introduced in Frazer's A Servants Tale - are well drawn and give a sense of the values of everyday folk. Their need to study their audience also makes them good window's for readers to get insight into the medieval world.
