About
"The White Lady of Hazelwood: A Tale of the Fourteenth Century" by Emily Sarah Holt is a historical novel set in the late fourteenth century. The story revolves around the character of the Countess of Montfort, known as the "White Lady," and her struggles and sacrifices as she becomes increasingly marginalized after fighting for her son's power and loyalty. As it delves into her poignant story, the novel captures the intriguing social dynamics and cultural settings of medieval England.

Amidst this lively backdrop, the narrative introduces Amphillis Neville, who, after the sudden passing of her mother, is thrust into service
