Jane Baechle:
I have previously recommended Peter Tremayne as an author I enjoy. He has written the “Sister Fidelma” series, now at 30+ volumes. These stories take place mostly in 7th century Ireland which shares a Celtic culture and belief system with other predominantly Celtic societies. Woven into these stories is information about the role and authority of women during this time period. While Sister Fidelma is a purely ficitonal character, Peter Tremayne is the nom de plume of Peter Berresford Ellis who is a noted British historian as well. His fictional works are set in an accurately rendered historical setting.

Thank you, BCFs. You have reminded me that I have an unread “Sister Fidelma” in my library, released late last summer. I have been so engrossed in all of the BCFs discussions and the amazing books in those, that I have not taken the time to read this latest one. As I mentioned in this recommendation, in addition to the interesting and complex characters, I enjoy the accounts of women’s role in Irish society of that time and of what was, in many ways, a representative government. Lena would have been right at home. Like “The Searcher,” the descriptions of the natural world are evocative. I think I am ready to return to the southwest of Ireland in the 7th century and to the adventures of Fidelma, who is a magistrate of the law, and her husband Eadulf.
