It is a retelling of a well-known, and often retold story of tragic love.

Bits and pieces of the story line are taken from Celtic legends.

The original story was set in the Dark Ages in southern England.

It is a bitter-sweet story of a Cornish warrior (Tristan) who falls in love with an Irish princess (IseultIsolde).

Unfortunately, the princess must wed King Marc of Cornwall, Tristans lord.

Tristan And Iseult Rosemary Sutcliff Pdf Movie Entitled Tristan

A recent movie entitled Tristan and Isolde starring James Franco and Sophia Myles might easily have used this novel as its template.

The language used by the author seems typical of early twentieth century novels about the exploits of King Arthur.

Although the language may seem old fashioned at times, this doesnt restrain the author.

The characters seem accurate to the time and the setting seems well researched by the author.

Spoiler alert. If your beloved passed in the recent past, the last part of this story will make you tear up.

But if you would like to read a sweet story about a love triangle in the days of Arthur, this should be a good novel for you.

If you want to read about constant battling with spilled blood and guts during the age of Arthur, this novel will not satisfy you.

I very much enjoyed reading this short novel despite having read a version of the legend previously.

I give it a three rating because it is not really a fresh approach to the story, but rather a retelling.

Subsequently this ancient tale received medieval dress as the troubadours enriched it and placed it in turreted castles in which it is generally set.

Subsequent authors have all tampered with the tale, adjusting it to suit their needs.

Sutcliff has done the same by simplifying and shortening and leaving out the love potion aas the explanation of why Tristan and Iseult fall in love.

Her version is a concise pellet of information and story I presume designed for children and teenagers for whom it is well suited.

Those of you who like your Tristan straight up should read The Romance of Tristan in the Curtis translation or Berouls masterpiece The Romance of Tristan and Iseult by Bedier.
