Description

Few books have captured the atmosphere of daily medieval life as well or as movingly as A Fool and His Money.

Rodez, in southern France, was divided for centuries by a feud between two masters.

This partitioned town thus acquired two distinct cultures.

The story focuses on the strange case of Peyre Marques, a merchant who forgets where he has buried his gold.

To read A Fool and His Money is like opening a shutter on to a sunlit medieval street teeming with characters, talk and noise - all coloured with the vibrancy of truth. --'Wroe is an excellent historian and an engaging writer with a beady eye for detail and an attractive turn of phrase.

Best of all, she conveys a true feeling for the recreation of period and persons and place' Daily Telegraph --'History lives best when it is loved, and nobody who reads this book can doubt the author's love of her subject' Sunday Telegraph
