An odd sort of book, setting up its two main characters and spending half the book letting the reader wonder what in the world these two might have in common. It was so throughly researched that it read like non-fiction. Both characters were trapped by the codes that they lived by - George by a miscarriage of justice, and Arthur by the code of chivalry that prevented him from forsaking his dying wife. But Arthur's quest to defend George proved him worthy to be Jean's husband. Maybe.
