The Widow's Tale by Margaret Frazer

This is another enjoyable Dame Frevisse mystery.  It was a bit more of a page turner than The Reeve’s Tale; the story of a widow brutally torn from her children and shut up in a nunnery (where she meets Frevisse).  Alas, this book didn’t deal with the peasant class as the other one did, but Frazer was at least accurate in her depiction of these upper class characters.  The ending was a tear-inducing shocker.
