Probably a 2.5.
As a fan of C J Sansom, S J Parris and Antonia Hodgson I thought I would love this book, but it did not quite flow for me.
Told mostly from the perspective of a contemporary of Geoffrey Chaucer's, a fellow poet, John Gower. It has details of daily life in 14th century England (and Spain and Italy), historical events and characters, and a complex mystery that takes almost the whole book to unravel. Very enjoyable.
