The Wicked Day by Mary Stewart

4.0

3.5/5
A random thing that I noticed:
"Bedwyr, still with the gentleness that Mordred would never have suspected in him, said, half to himself: 'She has a lovely face. God give her rest.'"

This reminded me of the ending of the poem "The Lady of Shalott" by Alfred Tennyson:
"Lancelot mused a little space;
He said, 'She has a lovely face;
God in his mercy lend her grace,
The Lady of Shalott.'"

Not to mention, the lady in the book is named Elen while the lady from the poem is supposed to be, I think, named Elaine.

Coincidence? I think NOT!
