THE LADY OF THE SEA Is A Very Worthy Read!

This is the final book of a trilogy regarding another timeless favorite story, Tristan & Isolde. This story is also from the Arthurian legends and is very similar to the love triangle of Arthur, Lancelot & Guenivere. The best by far of the three novels brings to a conclusion Tristan and Isolde's story. They endure and triumph over many seemingly insurmountable obstacles, not the least of which is King Mark. However, they provide many of their own problems by, at times, doubting each others love and fidelity. Isolde decides that she can no longer remain married to King Mark of Cornwall. He has carried on with his mistress for years and was only a marriage of convenience from the start. It was never consumated and was only initiated to prevent King Mark from invading her kingdom, the Western Isle, Ireland. Tristan and Isolde must weather many separations, extreme conditions and Mark's relentless pursuit of them both to finally and permanently come together. The book was very suspenseful, engaging and extremely hard to put down. I highly recommend it and believe it can also be read as a stand-alone novel.
