Rotaida and the Runestone is a story that is both historically entertaining and educational. Marjorie Watkins has a great talent in writing and I find the book fascinating and spell binding. Rotaida, uncertain of her past and even more uncertain of her future, determines to seek and find out the truth of who sired her. The one she thought was her father curses her at her mother's death and tells Rotaida that he is not her father. After throwing 12 year old Rotaida out on the street shouting " Go away! I don't want you! You're not my child!" he finds her and decides to sell her as a slave at the palace. There, in the palace kitchen, she finds favor with some but others want to take her life. Why? Find out in this suspenseful tale based on the 8th century history of King Charlemagne's empire. It is quite interesting reading about both peasantry and royalty with all the details of everyday life. You can practically see the sites, smell the smells, taste the food, and witness the good and bad of human nature. I recommend this book to anyone ten years of age and older. There is an occasional minor slang word used that some might object to but the context of it is very real to life and I think will not be offensive to most. You can purchase Rotaida and the Runestone and it's sequel, Royal Spy, at Marjwatkins.com where you will also find interesting facts detailing life in eighth century Europe. I enthusiastically recommend this book! - Keith Jones Hsadvisor.com
