The long-lost son of a wealthy weaver, thought murdered six years before, has reappeared, to the joy of the old man but to the indignation of Alison Burnett, who refuses to believe the stranger is her brother. When she is disinherited she appeals to Roger the Chapman to prove her suspicions right.

Kate Sedley was born in Bristol and educated at The Red Maid's School, Westbury-on-Trym. She is married and has a son, a daughter and three grandchildren. The Weaver's Inheritance is her eighth medieval mystery featuring Roger the Chapman.
Roger the Chapman, hero and narrator of Sedley's late 15th-century series (The Plymouth Cloak, etc.), has again recounted a rich and wonderful tale. The Wars of the Roses having lasted for decades, the English people are weary of civil war and anxious to settle down to peace, quiet and prosperity. Not slow off the mark, a wealthy Bristol weaver and civic leader, Albert Weaver, has been acquiring a fortune that he intends to leave to his surviving daughter, his son having been apparently murdered several years earlier (Death and the Chapman). When Albert accepts a young man who arrives in the town as his "dead" son, his daughter Alison is shocked and unbelieving; she thinks "Clement" is a well-coached impostor, and enlists Roger's aide in unmasking him and his fellow conspirators. Roger agrees to try to establish the truth, and over the next few months undertakes journeys that will lead him among the middle-class merchants and craftsmen of England, into the London "stews" and to brief encounters with the feuding nobles on whose rivalry the future of England may well rest. These journeys also lead Roger to greater self-awareness, as well as a better understanding of the superstitions that shape medieval minds. Throughout, Sedley's well-drawn characters act consistently and credibly. In the end the author wraps up a complex plot, which includes the possibility that Clement is actually the weaver's son, in a satisfyingly tidy bundle. This book is sure both to please those already acquainted with Sedley's work and to win new converts.

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor.

We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
