Liebe ist ein Kleid aus Feuer

Scharzfels, the Harz Mountains, in the year 946. One cold winter day, Roswitha arrives at the castle of Count Raimund of Lothringen. The battle-hardened warrior stands in the service of King Otto I and sees his beloved daughter Eila only when he happens to be travelling through. Roswitha and Eila grow up together and become close, even though they are like fire and water. Roswitha hears the clouds and the trees speak and always has a wax tablet at hand, whereas Eila prefers to indulge in falconry. Years later their friendship will go through a difficult test. While Eila sets out into the world, aiding in the rescue of Queen Adelheid of Italy and ultimately finding true love, Roswitha seeks refuge behind the protecting walls of Gandersheim Cloister. Fate has torn them from one another, without hope of reunion ... Press "Anyone who devoured Ken Follett's The Pillars of the Earth will love Brigitte Riebe's novels."
