FALAISE The Town of the Conqueror review by Anna Bowman Dodd
A brisk critique of Mrs. Dodd’s vivid but uneven account of Falaise and its story. It traces her blend of modern figures with medieval scenes, the Arlette and William narrative, and the book’s portraits of the château, the fair, and today’s town with Sainte Trinité and Saint Gervais churches.
