The Cage Full of Birds

T D Owen

In 1138, Gilles a monk barely into manhood, is sent by the Norman Abbey of Bec to its estate of Stivetun in Berchescire. His charge is to oversee the farm lands there and to be village priest. But Gilles' sense of justice and truth thrust him to the forefront of calamitous events, fuelled by powerful bishops and barons. This is the story of real people who lived and struggled in The Anarchy of 12th century England; a stirring tale of self-discovery, the triumph of hope over doubt, good over evil
