Historical
A woman in Norman Sicily makes her way by marriage, guile,
courage and love. First published in 1974, GREAT MARIA takes place in
Southern Italy, where Maria, a young daughter of a Norman
robber baron, marries Richard D'Alene, an ambitious if dull
knight. Secretly she prefers his more handsome younger
brother Roger, but accepts her lot. Their relationship is at
once strong, passionate, and contentious. As Richard
increases his hold over the area through successful warfare
and enlightened leadership, Maria begins to share in some of
the power as a kingship drifts withing their grasp. A strong, independent thinker who is courageous with the
cards she is dealt, Maria pushes boundaries, she eavesdrops,
she schemes, she lusts over others; she is human and more
lovable because of it.
